Don't see why you all are getting so mad....

If any of you watched O'donnell last night, he and Karen Finney basically referenced that Obama put this proposal out their because he knew Boehner would not except it.

Republicans clammed up since the election and have become more secretive than ever. They used to jump in front of a mic at every chance and squeal to high heaven. You don't see that now and they are more dangerous when they are being secretive. Boehner had to respond and we can see him openly be belligerent and unmovable.
