If I were Boehner, I'd say; meet you at the debt ceiling, where you will receive nothing. We're shutting it down, shrinking government until it's to a size of our liking. Republicans will be hated for a while, but soon looked upon as the saviour of the country and the world since we brought you, you as*hole to your Waterloo.

In an Oval Office meeting last week, he told Mr. Boehner that if the sides didn’t reach agreement, he would use his inaugural address and his State of the Union speech to tell the country the Republicans were at fault.

If he pulls that stunt during the SOTU, every Republican in Congress should get up and walk out. That would be extremely disrespectful to legislators directly elected by their constituents, and frankly, a slap in the face to the voters, who put them in office. And they should point that out to any member of the media who asks them about it.
