Boehner tells GOP he’s through negotiating one-on-one with Obama

"SNIP.............................................


Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) is signaling that at least one thing will change about his leadership during the 113th Congress: he’s telling Republicans he is done with private, one-on-one negotiations with President Obama.

During both 2011 and 2012, the Speaker spent weeks shuttling between the Capitol and the White House for meetings with the president in hope of striking a grand bargain on the deficit.

Those efforts ended in failure, leaving Boehner feeling burned by Obama and, at times, isolated within his conference.

In closed-door meetings since leaving the “fiscal cliff” talks two weeks ago, lawmakers and aides say the Speaker has indicated he is abandoning that approach for good and will return fully to the normal legislative process in 2013 — seeking to pass bills through the House that can then be adopted, amended or reconciled by the Senate.

1. Obama is driving him to drink

[applegrove]

2. LOL!

[wandy]

3. Sounds like Boehner's employers took him out to the woodshead.

[JEB]

4. Boehner can

go F himself.

[gulliver]

5. It only gets him used to talking with the sane.

The man has to talk with House Tea Party Republicans after that. That's like leaving a hot tub and cliff diving into a pile of ice.

6. I can understand why he doesn't want to deal with the President one-on-one....

...because Bonehead's not even a tenth as intelligent and he needs lots of help to try to keep up.

[liberal N proud]

7. Obama is done dealing!

[SDjack]

8. Boner's bills will be ignored by the Senate

or if passed, then vetoed by Pres. Obama. Never a good idea to reveal one's strategy for success.

[EvolveOrConvolve]

9. Translation:

Boner's tired of getting his ass handed to him by some uppity black guy.

[Angry Dragon]

10. and that is how it should have been done from the beginning

[zbdent]

11. Typical ...

don't bullies often back down from one-on-one confrontations when their pack isn't there to save them if they find they've picked on someone who FIGHTS BACK???
