Boehner offered nothing but excuses. He unashamedly admitted that they would not consider

tax increases, but would love to crunch entitlements. This is the most brazen bunch of crooks to ever enter the political arena. We need an exorcism.

1. You meant tax increases, I think.

[mfcorey1]

5. Thanks. Correction made.

2. This calls for a 14th Amendment solution

6. Even then, time's running out, isn't it? I was kind of expecting

him to announce that today and was surprised that he called the Parties to come in tomorrow and come up with a deal. Isn't that what they've been doing all this time?

[gateley]

3. Did NOT answer the question of "how can you say they aren't

giving enough cuts in spending when they upped it xxx$$$?". Typical.

I think Obama was much more forthcoming.

4. He just outright admitted that...

he's more concerned for the wealthy. Shameful.

[gateley]

7. Too bad the Republican voters won't see that's what he meant. Or

maybe they will -- maybe I'm underestimating them. The polls reflect that Dem AND Rep citizens are pretty disgusted. This affects us all.
