Boehner Invokes ‘Plan B,’ Dismissing Obama’s Offer

7. That's what I am thinking

If the leaks came from House or Senate Dems I would think it was to mobilize people to protest the chained CPI. But it didn't...it came straight from the White House, after they got wind of Plan B. I am hoping that is because they don't expect the GOP to accept it and want to make them look unreasonable.

If the president expect the GOP to support this or to push him further toward their side, I don't see why he would leak this offer, because then he looks weak if they push him further.

Hopefully at the very least it means this was the president's last and final offer. Otherwise I don't see why he would leak it.
