Boehner and Cantor Return to White House for Private Meeting
The two top House Republicans met privately at the White House Sunday with President Obama as the House prepared to vote on a deficit-cutting measure strongly opposed by the White House.
And it does appear the “big deal” is back on the table. Capitol Hill sources tell ABC News that Obama and Republican House Speaker John Boehner are again talking about reducing the deficit by more than $4 trillion over the next decade or so. Boehner reportedly wants the president to lay out specific cuts to entitlement programs. But many Republicans doubt such a plan can get through Congress.
