Just like how they used their leverage during the lame duck 2010 session?
Just like how they used their leverage during the 2011 debt ceiling debate?
Just like how they used their leverage during the 2012 debt ceiling debate?
What leverage do Republicans have when Boehner says he trusts Obama completely, Pelosi says she "smokes Boehner out," and McConnell undermines Boehner during the debt ceiling debates?

Evrrything before this year was both sides punting, to see who would win.
Now we know.
Hold yourbreath all you want, but we cant drive policy from one house.
And acting like extremists with empty bluffs is not going to win any followers.
Just no fight in the beltway GOP. It’s so easy, I could help. How about Boehner’s interview last week...
Presstitute: Do you trust the POTUS?
Boehner: That’s a great question. Let me tell you, I trusted he would deliver a budget as required by law on Feb. 4. Then I trusted him when he said it would be delivered late on March 14th. I trusted him when he said Obamacare would cost $900 billion and not add a dime to our debt, etc. etc.,
Now let me ask you a question Mr. MSM: Do you think I should trust that the 500 people working in the Obama White House Office of (mis)Management and (no)Budget will produce a budget to arrive on April 8th?
That is what we need to see. OFFENSE. Every. Single. Day. Win the day. If they want our votes they need to earn them. It’s no longer good enough just to be not Democrats.
