House Republican leaders have missed a 36-hour deadline President Obama set during a Thursday meeting for lawmakers to give him a plan to avert a national default.
The deadline came and went Saturday morning without a response from House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio).
Instead, Boehner and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) plan to move the Cut, Cap and Balance Act on the floor next week, which would require passage of a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution before the debt limit is raised.
A House GOP leadership aide said at noontime Saturday that Boehner and Cantor did not send Obama a revised proposal to raise the debt-limit, as the president requested.

Who the Hell is he to set deadlines?
Isn’t the rookie Hussein out there planning a birthday party for himself or something important like that?
I think the more this president is ignored the better off the country will be.
Congress doesn’t work for the president.
Deadline, smeadline. The only deadlines he’s that concerned with are his tee times. This is just him stomping his feet and throwing a typical two year old’s tantrum whaaaa! because he didn’t get his way for once.
Hey commie, you have a 36 hr deadline to present your plan as well.
STFUBO
The GOP should schedule meeting after meeting after meeting with the President. Each meeting should last 4 hours. The reason? This guy says he quit smoking. Everyone knows how irritable a person can get while trying to quit smoking. He will blow eventually and it will drive him nuts.
>>Did a title search and nothing came up.<<
I hope you took out title insurance just in case... ;)
>>Congress doesnt work for the president.<<
That is why he keeps throwing tantrums. barry the zero honestly thinks they do.
Someone in congress, in a very public forum, needs to ask the head finger wagger “who in the hell do you think you are?”
So did the Dems LOL!
Just what does “The Hill” want to be a “Hill” of?
The Reps know these “negotiations” are just political theater. Obama is trying to position himself as the deficit hawk after increasing the publicly held debt in 2 1/2 years than Bush did in 8 years. He is a fraud and deserves no respect.
I've seen your analogy on other threads to obama thinking he's a CEO and I agree with your take.
It used to be a rubber stamp Congress for the first two years of his Presidency.
Why should the grown ups at the GOP jump at Obama’s command? FUBO!
When is HE not planing something for HIMSELF.
You forget it must ALWAY be about HIM.
If you have time to waste listen to any of his speech’s/lies and and most of the words spoken are ME, MY, I, MYSELF and I’ll and it is not MY FAULT.
The GOP should keep this up until Jug Ears pitches a conniption fit!
Political Theater you say....every time he has pressers his numbers tank....wouldn’t you think someone in the WH would realize how poorly Americans see him...
