(85,373 posts)40. In Talks on a Budget Deal, Boehner and Obama Stand Alone
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/07/us/politics/at-boehners-request-he-and-obama-negotiate-alone.html
At House Speaker John A. Boehners request, Senate leaders and Representative Nancy Pelosi have been excluded from talks to avert a fiscal crisis, leaving it to Mr. Boehner and President Obama alone to find a deal, Congressional aides say....
I'VE GOT A BAD FEELING ABOUT THIS...NOT THAT MY OPINION OF PELOSI IS SO HIGH, BUT TWO HALFWITS TOGETHER MIGHT OUTWEIGH THE QUARTER-WIT OF BOEHNER....
BASICALLY, IF BOEHNER AND THE GOP THINK IT IS A GOOD IDEA...IT ISN'T.
AND I DON'T WANT ANY CLOSED-DOOR DEALS, MYSELF.
