There will be simultaneous press conferences at 6 PM Pacific time (9 PM Eastern), by both Mr Obama and Speaker Boehner. That occurred on Monday, 7-25-11.
I can sum it up succinctly:
If Boehner puts tax hikes on the table, he should be removed forthwith, no further discussion.
He is afraid to be as “conservative” as allegedly is his caucus.
Additionally, if the mortgage interest deduction is removed and agreed upon by the GOP, every member voting “for” this needs to be removed. Forthwith. 80-million Americans — honest, tax-paying Americans — utilize the home mortgage deduction. Should that pass, the value of every home in the nation will plummet immediately by 15%.
Plain and simple.

P.S.
On the other hand. . .
It’s REALLY getting interesting now…
This is either Boners time to shine or could well be his Waterloo…
If the bastard breaks down and cries he needs to go anyway…
Couldn’t agree with you more, Fred.
This, now, isn’t primarily about politics or personalities or mores.
It’s actually about philosophies and whose shall win.
Which is why I’ll predicate my future political leanings on the manifestations proffered.

Boehner was flooded directly after his speech. I received this:
Server is too busy.

The gloves are off. I hope Boehner doesn’t wimp out.
Bully a bully and the bully will fall.
