Suddenly, the media says Boehner will allow a vote on the Senate agreement. But I have not seen

or heard him actually say anything. It's all "sources say", "aides say". Also they say that if there is a vote, that it is a done deal that the Senate deal will pass. The GOP house has been voting as a block, not just teabaggers to shut down the government and keep moving to default. I don't trust the GOP here.

Nothing unusual, most of the leadership does it. Obama is notorious for his leaks.
