Then perhaps the President should stop resisting cutting the budget now.

President Obama says House Speaker John Boehner "walked away" from debt talks over "an extraordinarily fair" deal.

No details yet. Get ready for double digit interest rates. It should make Bachmann happy!

How long before Cantor becomes the Speaker?

 

[driveby]

Why should democrats even have a say in this? They have not put anything on paper regarding a budget in over 800 days......

Obama says?

Are you questioning the President? He said it is 'extraordinarily fair', therefore it is.

UM, he offered TWO TRILLION DOLLARS in cuts, including military, entitlements, etc.

Not what you're describing as "resisting cutting the budget", not at all !!

Looks like Boehner, the tan man, turned yellow !!!

Promising future cuts is giving nothing since no future Congress, and not even this congress, is bound to the current deal. Let's see some real immediate cuts right now. He wants the debt ceiling raised, he needs to compromise if he is going to get it.

Why dont you support spending cuts? Do you really like burdening your fellow Americans by taxing their labor why politicians glut themselves?

The cuts he proposed almost equaled the amount of spending he proposes. What I find interesting, disturbing actually is the details of the plan could not be heard by those of listening, but in the 'back room' to a select few after the press conference. Not sure how Boehner sticking to his principles can be described as yellow and running.

The senate and the president will have a say in this. The House will do what the teaparty wants them to do and America will object and say so at the voting booth.

Compromise is not in the vocabulary of the Tea Party. The country is being run by a man that holds no office. Grover Norquist is probably telling Boehner what his next move is right now. Enjoy the view of being a 3rd world country.

 

[USArmyRetired]

The entitlements that need to be cut is welfare and SSI checks for minorities.

 

[Kuros]

Boehner has no power over many of the Republicans, including some of the freshmen.

What are you talking about? Republicans are the ones offering the Compromise. The Democrats want to raise the debt ceiling. We will do that if you do immediate spending cuts and put a balance budget amendment up for a vote.

You are just upset that Republicans are actually trying to get something out of this deal. How dare they make the President compromise for something he wants.
