to Obama and tell him to have fun trying to play grownup, then recess the House.

The White House rejected a House GOP proposal Tuesday to extend the Bush tax cuts for those making up to $1 million, saying it doesn't go far enough and wouldn't pass the Senate anyway.

Time to go over the “cliff”. The democrats will not approve anything unless it’s even worse that the mandated cuts. We should take what we can get and walk away from the table.
Is anyone surprised? Bueller?
Big surprise.
Boehner the fool is trying to show how stubborn Obama is being with his multiple offers.
He should just do his job take care of his own house. He is not responsible for what others do but he thinks he is.
Again, the fool.
Even when Boehner surrenders and waives the white flag, Obama does not accept. What does Obama want? Boehner to genuflect, kiss the ring, and prostate himself? This whole exercise is so degrading.
It’s either the arrogant pos occpant’s of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave way, or the highway. He will push the tax increases down our throat, just like he did the health care bill
Once again Boner is negotiating with himself and coming up with a tax increase. Just pass a bill that cuts spending and recess for the holidays. Let the Senate and Obama deal with the aftermath.
boner is a fool. If he’d only stop whining & crying long enough to realize that he should resign immediately...or switch parties.
This isn’t about the fiscal cliff, it is about ending the GOP.
The media will blame the GOP, and Bush, for anything going forward. Obambi knows this, and WANTS to move to the next step.
He is playing the long game, and Boehner is being played.
“What does Obama want?”
No cuts and lots of tax hikes, to spend more next year. Gotta keep that base fed.
Debt? What debt? We’ll pay it back with more taxes.
Good.
The GOP is already dead.
Guess what. It doesn’t matter if the White House rejects Boehner’s back up plan. If the House passes, the Senate will come under pressure to act on it absent any agreement between the House and the President.
If the Senate fails to act, the Democrats are to blame. If the Senate approves Plan B and the President vetoeso it, the President sends the economy over the fiscal cliff.
This is a negotiating tactic. We’ll see how well it works.
I am no fan of Boehner but I like this. Keep making “reasonable” offers and show what a liar the kenyan is.
Barry WANTS to go over the cliff. Why give him what he wants???
So Boehner continues the offers including the Pelosi plan and the White Hut rejects them out of hand. Now hammer the dims with this stuff. They will look terrible.
Not quite.
But they will be soon.
They will look terrible to who?
Boehner just got had by Obama. GOP needs to dump Bner now
If the Senate fails to act, the Democrats are to blame. If the Senate approves Plan B and the President vetoeso it, the President sends the economy over the fiscal cliff.
I think the marxists want the hundreds of billions in defense cuts above all else. There is no way they can get them through Congress so they need to take us over the cliff and let sequestration kick in.
So I like the idea of the House passing a deal that includes some tax increases on “millionaires”. That sends the bill on to the dims in the Senate. See how they like that hot potato.
