Why Boehner Cries

by Alan Grayson

I know why House Speaker John Boehner walked out of debt ceiling talks with President Obama on Friday.

It’s because Boehner can’t deliver.

It doesn’t matter what terms the President offers. It’s that simple. Boehner can’t deliver the votes.

The President might as well be negotiating with Tiger Woods; Tiger can’t deliver the votes, either. But at least Tiger has a better swing.

On Friday, the President said, “I think that one of the questions that the Republican Party is going to have to ask itself is, can they say yes to anything? Can they say yes to anything?”

The answer to your question, Mr. President, is no. The national Republican Party can’t even says yes to yes. And Boehner can’t do anything about that.

2. Exactly. And knowing that, the President, Reid and Pelosi are boxing them in.

As soon as POTUS puts a stamp of approval on something, the pathological GOP House won't agree to it.

And every time that happens, they're giving the President another piece of the ammo he needs to prove beyond the shadow of MSM spin that they can't deal in good faith and on terms they should be glad to accept.
