Pres. STANDING HIS GROUND
WASHINGTON — President Obama and House Republicans failed to reach agreement on a six-week extension of the nation’s borrowing authority during a meeting Thursday at the White House, but both sides agreed to keep talking and the Republican offer was seen as a first step toward ending the budget standoff.
Pres. told them restore us to pre republican shutdown then we can talk about fixing things, as usual they didn't listen but IMO i think they were just looking for brownie points for doing their job i can see why they would think that being as how they've never done their jobs they would expect a pat on the back and a attaboy, sorry they are in the wrong dream.
Twenty Republicans, led by Speaker John A. Boehner, went to the White House at Mr. Obama’s invitation after a day of fine-tuning their offer to increase the Treasury Department’s authority to borrow money to pay existing obligations through Nov. 22. In exchange, they sought the president’s commitment to negotiate a deal for long-term deficit reduction and a tax overhaul.Mr. Boehner and his colleagues left after about an hour and a half without speaking to waiting reporters.
they were not seeking a talk on long term resolutions they spent the beginning of the week talking about kicking the can for 6 weeks. Pres. told them no negotiations on debt ceiling and open the gov't they went there with disrespect for what he wanted and "we the people" needed just to offer a have a bone with ants all over it, who's not serious?
