it s like the old movie cool hand luke, what we have here is a failure to communicate. they don t know how to communicate with each other? i don t think so, bob woodward wrote an entire book about how president obama doesn t know how to communicate with the hill. if you look at what s happening, during the election, republicans ran on the ryan budget, which is no new revenue. democrats won the election, and the speaker said $800 billion in revenue. so what did president obama do to respond to thata he moved the revenue higher. so if you keep moving those goal posts, of course you re not going to have a willing partner on the other side, republicans are negotiating with themselves at this point. on the issue of the tax rate, it seems as if democrats want to hear john boehner say uncle, okay, they re going to go up, rather than just assume that boehner s going to agree with it, he just can t say it publicly. that s the issue here, boehner
president and we can just shut down his second term? i don t think they can reach that conclusion. every poll shows republicans will be blamed so they have to get out of the hole. i think at some point some republicans are starting to accept some increase in tax rates. the question is what that increase would look like. perhaps they could come forward and say, well, let s increase the tax rates for millionaires, not for people making over 250. i don t know. and the white house calculation is simply, blanche, that they don t want to negotiate with themselves. they re sitting there going no, no, no, you give on rates, say uncle on that and we ll talk about everything else. and boehner is saying i m not saying uncle yet on that. compromise has got to be a part of it for both of them in terms of image, in terms of results. there s no way that they can get to where they need to be without compromise. do you think there s a point, though, that the president has to say they re not goi
should you call the white house after getting sauced and should obama bail out his uncle for driving while drunkel? last week the kenyan-born was arrested in massachusetts after cops said he made a rolling stop through a stop sign and nearly caused a cruiser to slam into his suv. the nonleader of the free world obama failed several sobriety tests and after being booked was asked if he wanted to make a call to arrange for bail. he replied awesomely, i think i will call the white house. very good. police say uncle omar as the president calls him in his memwior pled not guilty and was being held without bail on a detainer from u.s. immigration and customs enforcement which means it is possible he is living in the country illegally. like his brother or uncle. what was he again? either way. i believe we have more from perry s pet parrakeet.

he was the odd man out in the administration and would never do it. this administration thought about it for a year and finally, i think we are doing the right thing, giving the people of ukraine the ability to defend themselves. that was the most interesting thing the administration has done with russia. sanctions are up because of congress, not the administration. north korea. this is the point of the op-ed where you take exception. they must earn their right to the table. it sounds conditional to me. then he talked about the only acceptable outcome being denuclearization. that s saying we don t care about it. they are not going wake up tomorrow or the day after and say uncle. the sanctions will never be enough to give up their missile inventory. that is their self-preservation. we need to think about what is an interim arrangement?
