So the Republicans are the ones doing all the work, approaches, yet it’s all on the Republicans? Doesn’t make sense.

Who wants to go in on the tissue concession for when Boner starts weeping?

Boehner needs to confer with Cruz and Lee and like people to keep his resolve and/or backbone.

Well let’s see if Boner’s half-assed surrender now turns into full-fledged surrender.

At least it just shows Obunghole keeps saying No. Guess after all this time who looks like he’s not trying to do anything. Obummer. And many, many people are seeing it.

Don’t get your hopes up. Brett Baier said that Obama did not reject the offer outright, he just wants the Republicans to show progress (cave) on the CR.

Pass the bill anyway and tie it to the full faith and credit act! Then let the markets (and big business) force Obama to take up this measure.

In a word - yes. The Republicans are the ones crawling to Obama to beg him to bless them with a solution.

So the Kenyan is refusing to budge. Seems the only thing he did today was to renege on his promise he made yesterday.

Obama rejects unanimous bill to pay death benefits to families of fallen soldiers

Obama is a POS lying SOB. He should be frog-marched out of the White House and held at Gitmo for Treason.

The Reps keep on negotiating with themselves. It is time to give a take it or leave proposition. The constant presenting of a new plan is viewed as a sign of weakness not a desire to negotiate. The Reps should hire Donald Trump as an adviser on how to negotiate.

He's halfway there. He already crawled on his belly to the snake, now he is waiting for the snake to open his jaws so he can crawl in.

7 days to go is a lifetime in any negotiations. Barry will play this for all its worth.

So now, more than ever, the Republicans should continue the mini-bill strategy and stop giving anything to OSpiteful, because it’s obvious he won’t budge unless the R’s completely give it all up and give him everything he wants. I pray they continue to hold the line and put it all in OSpitefulls lap.
