... meanwhile, Senor Wee Wee will be in El Paso on another campaign junket sucking up to the illegal alien vote rather than exerting any vestige of leadership.
If cuts are greater than the accompanying increase in debt authority, why raise the debt ceiling?
They’ve watched him bluff and fold before.
There’s no concern he’s able to play even a strong hand.
That’s the problem with folding early, pretending you’ll fight hard next time...
I have been sorely disappointed with Boehner as House Speaker. He comes across as being all show and no go.
This is what we get when the Establishment GOP has their boys in charge.
We need to avoid the “weak sister” RINO at all cost.
What is he going to do demand real fake cuts this time. Are will it be more fake, fake cuts.
They’ll cave.
Can't we elect anything but phonies?
When he folded on the Continuing Resolution (CR) he used phrases such as, “there is a political reality” and, “it was the best deal available.”
Expect more of the same as he gets steamrolled again.

Boener Lays Down
No real substance, just a theater production with Kabuki performers
Harry Reid: “Jump”!
Boehner: “How high”?
Wimpy little crybaby....
This is simply not so, and is a bald-faced lie told by the media.
Boner is really stupid if he can’t back this up and from his past recent decisions regarding the budget, this seems doubtful. Although the stakes are higher,it is likely that he will again play the fool. This does nothing for his chances for his retention as speaker and even his own re-election in his district.
Why is Boner risking his political career to defy the will of his constituents and most Americans who believe in fiscal responsibility?
This has to be the second stupidest thing I have ever heard from these idiot establishmnet players. The only one that tops this...we had to abandon the principles of the free market to save the free market!
My God...just how stupid are these people? Cut the debt by trillions and you no longer have a debt ceiling problem. In fact lower the debt ceiling by trillions as well!
Will he cry first, compromise second? Or the other way around?
Who are you kidding, Boehner? You’re a worthless, gutless turd.
I’ve written several scathing article about Boehner in American Thinker, so I am no fan of his. Having said that, he does seem to have had an epiphany on this issue by decoupling the term default and the debt ceiling. THIS IS VERY KEY.
This is a key acknowledgement on his part. It just amazes me that so many commenters clamor for Boehner to get a clue, and the moment he does, they all write him off. I would hope that this kind of change is what you’ve been looking for with all the negative (and deserved) commentary up to now.
Look, I know he may disappoint again - but his statement yesterday seemed to be a huge change in his stance on this issue. In the 90’s he was a good congressman. He went Washingtonian on us and has disappointed as speaker for sure. But maybe he’s getting the message.
Crybaby Boehner did not do shit.
He, as with most of the big government RINOs, will fold like wet paper.... =.=
