4. Sorry, Its Republicans Fault - Plan B Follows Tuesday GOP Meeting

Boehner went into a Tuesday meeting with his caucas and before the meeting he told reporters that he expected a very tough meeting. Well, after that meeting, Boehner starts pursuing the Plan B stunt in an effort to blow up discussions and blame Democrats. Here's the story discussing Boehner's comments prior to the Tuesday meeting:

We really, really need to ignore the media's efforts to prop up Republicans and Boehner and ignore the false equivalency that masquarades for journalism. The ugly truth is that the current Republican party representatives are extreme and out of control and Boehner can't get them to agree to any plausible deal with President Obama.

Boehner is a weak speaker and his caucas is crazy. To suggest that this is some sort of strategic maneuver to reach some desired deal is a fantasy. The ugly truth is that Republicans do not have a legitimate policy goal that makes mathmatical sense and has a chance of passing Congress. The media needs to stop giving them a free pass.
