What is Boehners bargaining position?
The increases and cuts automatically take place in January. Obama doesn't have to face reelection, he also gets a more favorable Congress in January. Why not wait it out, let tax cuts expire and then force Boehner to negotiate what he wants back in?
I agree the ball is completely in Obama's court. Not just the tax cuts to the rich, but a massive military spending bill are on the table, both the GOP's darlings with nothing the dems need.
Obama needs to play hardball and tell boner to go to hell. Not another dime to the rich, and the military spending needs to be slashed.
