Paul Ryan has been taking all the heat on this issue, and he hasn't cried about it or worn a pink tie.

Ryan authored the FY2012 budget.

Boehner is negotiating the Continuing Resolution for the FY 2011 budget.

Two separate issues.

Boehner is negotiating the Continuing Resolution for the FY 2011 budget.

If he were a leader, he would have already put together a bill and put it up for a vote. This puts the pressure on the Senate, but instead he gets all weepy about the negotiations. The time to negotiate ended in January. It is time to exercise a little power.

Boehner is negotiating the Continuing Resolution for the FY 2011 budget.

What 2011 budget? There was no 2011 budget. The Dems punted in September and the government has been operating on continuing resolutions since 2010.

the ball has been in Boehner's court for 4 months. He keeps punting it. If Boehner was a leader he would have proposed a budget instead of passing more CR's.
