Yep. I do have to admit that Boehner and the House Republicans are holding up better than I thought they would.
Contrast this with the castrated GOP cowards in the Senate who propose to give Obama carte blanche to run up $2.5 trillion more in debt in the hopes that the voters will blame him for digging us deeper into a hole.

Boehner contradicted himself twice in about 12 minutes today - saying that both they were never close to a deal and that they were close to a deal and after saying Obama wasn't trustworthy because he "moved the goalposts" he said he trusts Obama.
If you like this sort of flip-flopping you must love Mitt Romney.

You seem to have little understand of the budget/appropriations process. The reason Obama is asking for the debt ceiling to be raised is because Congress, with a House of Representatives in Republican hands since January of 2011, APPROPRIATED more spending then the country can afford without borrowing. The correct course of action here to avoid default is for Congress to raise the debt ceiling, then tackle spending during the fall budget fight.
