ok it's official these guys really are out of their minds, what did he do dust off the talking point from 2008 and just change the name?  that is what they did, Clinton is right takes a lot of brass to accuse somebody of what you are doing.
i've said it many times they do the dirt then try and sweep it on Pres.'s shoes, in front of the world like they had nothing to do with it.
Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Thursday accused President Obama of threatening to shut down the federal government unless he gets the tax and spending increases he is insisting on.
The GOP leader wrote to Obama earlier in the day urging him to “reconsider” his threats to veto veterans affairs and homeland security bills that passed the House overwhelmingly this week.
“In short, the president said, higher taxes and higher spending or we're going to shut down the government. I think that’s reckless,” Boehner told reporters.
debt ceiling crisis ring any bells or any other thing that required the Pres.'s ok and they held it hostage to get their way.
The White House on Monday said that while the bills passed are close to what the president wants, his advisers recommend a veto unless there is a broad deal on government spending that replaces $109 billion in automatic sequestration cuts slated for next year. So far the White House has demanded a mix of mandatory spending cuts and tax increases to replace all nine years of sequestration-backed discretionary cuts. 
sounds like he placed the ball back in their court, let's see what theydo with it act or play dodgeball.
