Joe Weisenthal — What John Boehner Is Saying In Private May Be More Ominous Than The Public Comments


Chicken update.
In private, Boehner has told his allies that he won’t bring up a clean CR, and he’s hopeful that as the deadline nears, President Obama will deal. “There’s no way the president holds firm,” a House GOP insider predicts. “Once that crack opens, I don’t know how the debt limit will be addressed, but it won’t be by Republican capitulation.”
This is a huge gamble the GOP is taking, but they are convinced that the president is weak.

"they are convinced that the president is weak."

Maybe what is taking so long in his selection of a new Fed Chair is that he is looking for one that will accept the deposit of "the coin"???

Frankly, I can't blame them for believing that.
