Here's the article:WASHINGTON – The Obama administration has informed Democratic Congressional leaders that President Obama and Speaker John A. Boehner were starting to close in on a major budget deal that would enact substantial spending cuts and seek future revenues through a tax overhaul, Congressional officials said Thursday.

Be careful of media spin... Desperation is settling in on the leftist MSM apparently.

The Left is trying to drive the agenda with deceptive and outright false news stories. They must make the GOP cave, so they try to put up the bait and talk about how the GOP is caving.

Unfortunately I fear the NYT is right, but Boehner has to try to not step on the tea partiers’ ‘symbolic’ vote.

Obama lies . . . . again.
To: 9YearLurker
Correct. If Boehner can get guaranteed spending cuts for FY 12 and FY 13, including changing the baseline year, and no expiration of the Bush tax cuts or any other tax rate increases, a deal is doable. It would represent a total cave by Obama/Reid but the spending cuts must be immediate and guaranteed.

I think you’re right. And the White House denial almost seals it, since they haven’t told a truth in years.

You’re far more optimistic about who’s going to win and what kind of a deal we’re going to get than I am. I just don’t see Obama caving at all.
To: markomalley
Virtually every GOP House member promised NO tax increase.
The party is DEAD as a doornail if they raise taxes with Obama.
To: markomalley
I have one word for Mr. Boehner
