White House initial response to Boehner and crew 6-week proposal: “The president has made clear that he will not pay a ransom for Congress doing its job and paying our bills. It is better for economic certainty for Congress to take the threat of default off the table for as long as possible, which is why we support the Senate Democrats’ efforts to raise the debt limit for a year with no extraneous political strings attached.”
So who is being unreasonable now? Obama and the Dems.

I translate that to mean the sadistic AH in the WH wants to play chicken with the debt limit next week. Boehner’s ploy today has upset their script obviously.

Yeah, right but the Impeachable One left off one word:
