What kind of president makes threats like this?
If Obama ridicules them during these upcoming speeches, the Republicans should
get up and walk out.
How 'Cliff' Talks Hit the
Wall
Behind Scenes, Boehner Failed to Sell Republicans on Taxes,
While Obama's Spending Plans Rankled
Republicans saw President Obama's unwillingness to bend when a deal was in
sight, jamming the speaker with a deal his party couldn't swallow.
The negotiations offer little evidence November's election brought the
president and House Republicans closer together. If anything, the talks
poisoned an already distrustful relationship.
Mr. Obama repeatedly lost patience with the speaker as negotiations
faltered. In an Oval Office meeting
last week, he told Mr. Boehner that if the sides didn't reach agreement, he
would use his inaugural address and his State of the Union speech to tell the
country the Republicans were at fault.
