If he were a leader, he would have already put together a bill and put it up for a vote.

Are you referring to the budget bill HR1, which was passed by the House in their first week -- but has not been voted on by the Senate?

Point being, Boehner has already done what you would have him do. And, since the Senate didn't pass HR1, they have to work with CRs.

And, so far, Boehner has taken a bite out of the Dem spending plans with every negotiation.

He's playing their game better than they are.

Ok, I was wrong. But if he passed a budget, then he needs to pass on any CR until the senate votes up or down on his budget. There is nothing to negotiate.
