So... Is The Sunday Night Meeting At The WH Off ??? - Or...

[WillyT]

was this Boehner blow-up just the latest chess move?

:shrug:

[DJ13]

1. He's telling the WH that he'll accept cuts to social programs as the deal

Just no tax hikes.

Screw him, the wealthy need to pay for their deficit, not the poor and elderly.

[Dept of Beer]

6. That's really no deal at all now is it?

[Fumesucker]

2. These guys didn't fall out of the turnip truck..

And even the ones that did didn't do it yesterday.

At that level everything is move and counter-move or they wouldn't be there in the first place.

ETA: But also a form of Kabuki because I think they know where they're going in the end and have for a while.

3. This whole battle is getting in the way of Boner's golf schedule, not to mention

the 19th hole. He's got to be ill-tempered, but that may work to Obama's advantage. Nothing like a sunny day to push a rabid golfer to clear his slate so he can chase that ball around from green to green...plus the biggee of wetting his whistle.

I'll bet he's getting nasty and with Nancy watching how well or badly he works, the pressure's on.

5. Oh! His golf schedule!

Is that why he is looking less orange these days? Or is he pale, thinking about the shellacking his party will take at the polls if they mess with Social Security and Medicare?

4. Obama should call and tell him to go fuck himself.

i would.
