"Mr. President, this is your moment," Boehner told reporters, speaking about the "fiscal cliff" that will hit in January. "We want you to lead."
Boehner said House Republicans are asking Obama "to make good on a balanced approach" that would including spending cuts and address government social benefit programs.
"Let's find the common ground that has eluded us," Boehner said while congratulating the president on winning a second term. (Read more: Obama Re-elected as Crucial Ohio Goes His Way.)
The Ohio Republican spoke a day after the president's clear re-election victory. He said conditions on higher taxes would include a revamped tax code to make it cleaner and fairer, fewer loopholes and lower rates for all.
The speaker noted that during one-on-one budget talks with the president in the summer of 2011, Obama had "endorsed the idea of tax reform and lower rates, including a top rate of lower than 35 percent," the present top rate.
Boehner did not specify what loopholes House Republicans might consider trimming. Nor did he take questions.
His comments were generally along the lines of proposals by vanquished Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney that also were vague on specifics. Still, the speaker's comments signaled a willingness to enter into talks. He suggested Congress could use its upcoming lame-duck session to get the ball moving on such a compromise.
"We can't solve the problem of our fiscal imbalance overnight...This is going to take time," he said.
Poster Comment:
He's ready to be lead to Obama's lame duck a$$, so he can kiss it.
He just couldn't wait to kiss the ring of the king, could he.
What a worthless POS.

Damn! I figured you weren't going to talk to me again after I told the truth about your favorite socialist, Andy Griffith.
Hold on, while I figure out how to be an even bigger asshole.

I have no desire for nor inclination towards any exchange with an idiot.
Ya feel me?

It won't be that bad....
America is still the Vaunted Global Military power. So there will certainly be many more wars....lots of parades. Who knows...maybe they finally do another great movie like the San Pebbles or Saving Private Ryan.
Buck up America....its not even anywhere's scarry like 1/3 rd of the Earth burned with fire...1/3 of the water poisoned....and the Beast image in Jerusalem. Hey...it will be at least 10 years before things get that bad : )

Yeah,but you know what? One day the money won't be there for us to fight to protect Saudi Arabia in the Muddle East,and all those soldiers will be coming back home and looking for jobs that just aren't there.
Won't life be just grand when that happens?
A wise man once said,"If you wish to live your life as a good man,try to be the man your dog thinks you are."
us to fight to protect Saudi Arabia in the Muddle East
LOL!!!
We all know who we are 'protecting' in the ME and it sure as the hell isn't SA.
I.E.: Israel To U.S.: Don't Delay Iraq Attack
Israel is urging U.S. officials not to delay a military strike against Iraq's Saddam Hussein, an aide to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said Friday.
Israeli intelligence officials have gathered evidence that Iraq is speeding up efforts to produce biological and chemical weapons, said Sharon aide Ranaan Gissin.
"Any postponement of an attack on Iraq at this stage will serve no purpose," Gissin said. "It will only give him (Saddam) more of an opportunity to accelerate his program of weapons of mass destruction."
We all know who we are 'protecting' in the ME and it sure as the hell isn't SA.
Yes,it IS Saudi Arabia.
Your hatred for Jews is blinding you to reality. The Jews are perfectly capable of taking care of themselves against their Muslim neighbors. It's SA that needs the protection of the US military.

The election is over,so they can now go back to business as usual.
That is unfortunate. If more people didn't sit on the sidelines we could have had some unusual business. But the sex perverts, moochers, baby killers, and stupid people voted for Obama. Then there are the simpletons like you that sat on the sidelines. You got what you wanted Peter. So shut up and don't complain.
Then there are the simpletons like you that sat on the sidelines.
Yeah,it is MY fault your asshole buddy RINO's picked a fucking communist as a candidate that MAY be to the left of Obama. Since Obummer already had the Dim vote locked up,that left it to "conservatives" like you to vote Mass Mitt into office,and there just aren't that many stupid conservatives.
Good thinking,Stone! Who are you going to vote for next time,Hillary Clinton or JEB Bush?
A wise man once said,"If you wish to live your life as a good man,try to be the man your dog thinks you are."
Ok simpleton. Do you know what a communist is? What about Romney is communist? To the left of Obama. Do you smoke crack?
Pete is exactly correct...here are the 10 planks to the Communist Manafesto...and Romney wants a very 30k drones in the air to enforce his plans of enslaving the limited government folks.
Read the 10 Planks of The Communist Manifesto to discover the truth and learn how to know your enemy...
Karl Marx describes in his communist manifesto, the ten steps necessary to destroy a free enterprise system and replace it with a system of omnipotent government power, so as to effect a communist socialist state. Those ten steps are known as the Ten Planks of The Communist Manifesto The following brief presents the original ten planks within the Communist Manifesto written by Karl Marx in 1848, along with the American adopted counterpart for each of the planks. From comparison it's clear MOST Americans have by myths, fraud and deception under the color of law by their own politicians in both the Republican and Democratic and parties, been transformed into Communists.
Another thing to remember, Karl Marx in creating the Communist Manifesto designed these planks AS A TEST to determine whether a society has become communist or not. If they are all in effect and in force, then the people ARE practicing communists.
Communism, by any other name is still communism, and is VERY VERY destructive to the individual and to the society!!
The 10 PLANKS stated in the Communist Manifesto and some of their American counterparts are...
1. Abolition of private property and the application of all rents of land to public purposes. Americans do these with actions such as the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution (1868), and various zoning, school & property taxes. Also the Bureau of Land Management (Zoning laws are the first step to government property ownership)
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax. Americans know this as misapplication of the 16th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, 1913, The Social Security Act of 1936.; Joint House Resolution 192 of 1933; and various State "income" taxes. We call it "paying your fair share".
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance. Americans call it Federal & State estate Tax (1916); or reformed Probate Laws, and limited inheritance via arbitrary inheritance tax statutes.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels. Americans call it government seizures, tax liens, Public "law" 99-570 (1986); Executive order 11490, sections 1205, 2002 which gives private land to the Department of Urban Development; the imprisonment of "terrorists" and those who speak out or write against the "government" (1997 Crime/Terrorist Bill); or the IRS confiscation of property without due process. Asset forfeiture laws are used by DEA, IRS, ATF etc...).
5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly. Americans call it the Federal Reserve which is a privately-owned credit/debt system allowed by the Federal Reserve act of 1913. All local banks are members of the Fed system, and are regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) another privately-owned corporation. The Federal Reserve Banks issue Fiat Paper Money and practice economically destructive fractional reserve banking.
6. Centralization of the means of communications and transportation in the hands of the State. Americans call it the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Department of Transportation (DOT) mandated through the ICC act of 1887, the Commissions Act of 1934, The Interstate Commerce Commission established in 1938, The Federal Aviation Administration, Federal Communications Commission, and Executive orders 11490, 10999, as well as State mandated driver's licenses and Department of Transportation regulations.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state, the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan. Americans call it corporate capacity, The Desert Entry Act and The Department of Agriculture Thus read "controlled or subsidized" rather than "owned" This is easily seen in these as well as the Department of Commerce and Labor, Department of Interior, the Environmental Protection Agency, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, Bureau of Mines, National Park Service, and the IRS control of business through corporate regulations.
8. Equal liability of all to labor. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture. Americans call it Minimum Wage and slave labor like dealing with our Most Favored Nation trade partner; i.e. Communist China. We see it in practice via the Social Security Administration and The Department of Labor. The National debt and inflation caused by the communal bank has caused the need for a two "income" family. Woman in the workplace since the 1920's, the 19th amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, assorted Socialist Unions, affirmative action, the Federal Public Works Program and of course Executive order 11000.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries, gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equitable distribution of population over the country. Americans call it the Planning Reorganization act of 1949 , zoning (Title 17 1910-1990) and Super Corporate Farms, as well as Executive orders 11647, 11731 (ten regions) and Public "law" 89-136. These provide for forced relocations and forced sterilization programs, like in China.
10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production. Americans are being taxed to support what we call 'public' schools, but are actually "government force-tax-funded schools " Even private schools are government regulated. The purpose is to train the young to work for the communal debt system. We also call it the Department of Education, the NEA and Outcome Based "Education" . These are used so that all children can be indoctrinated and inculcated with the government propaganda, like "majority rules", and "pay your fair share". WHERE are the words "fair share" in the Constitution, Bill of Rights or the Internal Revenue Code (Title 26)?? NO WHERE is "fair share" even suggested !! The philosophical concept of "fair share" comes from the Communist maxim, "From each according to their ability, to each according to their need! This concept is pure socialism. ... America was made the greatest society by its private initiative WORK ETHIC ... Teaching ourselves and others how to "fish" to be self sufficient and produce plenty of EXTRA commodities to if so desired could be shared with others who might be "needy"... Americans have always voluntarily been the MOST generous and charitable society on the planet.
He's also a open borders asshole,and a member of a Christian religious cult. Christianity is a socialist/communist movement.
He ran the most closed border campaign since Pat Buchanan. In fact Pats Sister worked on his campaign.
Mormons aren't christian simpleton.
Christianity isn't communist simpleton.
You aren't a real American. You just don't get what it is to be an American. You're entitled to your views but your views would never be considered the solution to thinking people with morals. Pete your basically amoral and kind of senile based on what you have been posting today. You getting enough sun?
The bastard state, 'you people' call israel, had their collective asses handed to them during the 2006 IsraelHezbollah War.
Actually their home made rocktes did little damage and Israle leveled them. That is the truth.
You don't really have a problem with Israel. You have a problem with God. You have some kind of sin in your life that you want to keep. So you lash out like a mad dog. Speaking of a mad dog. I haven't seen him in a while.
He ran the most closed border campaign since Pat Buchanan.
Is that some sort of trick statement? Every candidate since Buchanan ran on amnesty,and in fact he was the only one that wasn't for amnesty when he ran.
Christianity isn't communist simpleton.
Yes,it is,retard. In fact,it is the mother and father of communism. Try reading the Bible sometime and thinking about what you are reading.
You aren't a real American.
I'm more of an American than you have ever been. Not only did I volunteer to serve in a combat role in the military during a time of war,but so has every generation of my family going back to the Revolutionary War. There is even a road sign plaque not far from me with an ancestors name on it memorializing him as a Colonel in the Colonial Militia.
AND....,on my mother's side of the family they were here when the first Englishmen arrived,and fought with them to the point where the English bribed them to move away.
And you? What have you or anyone in your family ever done other than kiss kiss fake Republican/real Dim ass?
