Boehner Says Talks Have Hit “Stalemate”
WASHINGTON — House Speaker John Boehner said Friday that fiscal cliff negotiations have stalled and that a week of on-and-off talks and noisy political maneuverings by both sides have achieved no results.
"There’s a stalemate," Boehner told reporters in a press conference after President Barack Obama's speech. “Let’s not kid ourselves.”
notice how they always say "on both sides" but the news only seems to report their juvenile playground banter and obstruction, "let's not kid ourselves" that is exactly what they've done for 4 years. the kidded themselves and their base they would win 2012, is that not a perfect example of them kidding themselves.
i told you they do it then try and kick the dirt on the Pres.'s shoes, that is what you call exposing yourself by opening your mouth, they tell the idiots to chill so we won't know how dumb and treacherous they are surprise we found out anyway.
Later, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said she hoped Boehner did not mean talks were indeed in a "stalemate." "Maybe that's a figure of speech," she suggested.
"We all know what is at stake here," Pelosi added. "So why are we stalling? … I don't know what the wait is for." The minority leader said she will try to push the middle-class tax cut extension to the House floor for a vote next week, which would require a petition.
Since Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner presented the administration's initial offer to congressional leaders Thursday, Republicans have panned the proposal, calling it "inadequate" and "not serious."
On Friday, Boehner insisted that those comments weren't simply political posturing, as some Democrats have charged. Boehner also indicated that Republicans remain open to further negotiation.
What is the meaning of "political posturing"?
"Taking a position on an issue strictly because it is politically advantageous to do so. For example, being against something solely because the other side is in favor of it."
take another look Americans, who's zoomin' who?
