Because he won't get any of that. He needs to simply let Obama go down with the ship. Let the Bush tax cuts expire. Let all the SS deductions rise. Let the defense workers get laid off. Let Lockheed Martin stock price tank. We need all of that and more.

The thing about most people is that they never learn from their mistakes unless the consequences of their own stupidity is harsh and staring them right in the face in the most stark and obvious way.
The fact is the California, New York, New Jersey, and Virginia liberals, the Midwest liberals, and all these other Blue state folks that fell in love with Obama and his BS need to live with his BS.
And the only way they are ever going to feel the pain of their own stupidity is with sequestration and getting their taxes raised by allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire.
Boehner has some capital. Obama was furious when the Speaker walked away from the table last time. And he would be perfectly happy do it again if Obama acts the same way.
