Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Tuesday rejected President Obama’s offer to negotiate a long-term fiscal deal in exchange for temporary measures to end the government shutdown and lift the debt ceiling.
Speaking to reporters at the White House, Obama said that if House Republicans re-opened the government and lifted the nation’s borrowing authority — even for a few months — he would enter into wide-ranging talks that could include his signature healthcare law and issues related to the debt.“If they want to do that, reopen the government. Extend the debt ceiling. If they can’t do it for a long time, do it for the period of time in which these negotiations are taking place,” Obama said.
even though it doesn't effect me i don't think he should do anything that doesn't improve ACA he starts doing that cave thing it's over he blinked the American peoples chance to have health care and future things they will just hold out till he buckles, he said no negotiation on it mean it or lose your creds i love you but you got give it back and "STAND YOUR GROUND"
But Boehner shot down that opening at his own press conference, characterizing it as a demand for “unconditional surrender” from the GOP.“What the president said today was, if there’s unconditional surrender by Republicans, he’ll sit down and talk to us,” Boehner said. “That’s not the way America works.”
we all know what that really means we know it takes compromise to get to a deal when both sides are differently inclined. but republicans have a diviated interpretation of compromise

if Pres. thinks unconditional surrender why would he sit down with them to the victor goes the spoils so they would have to sit down with him the President of the United States of America Barack Hussein Obama
