31. Where is McConnell's proposal? Where is Boehner's proposal?

Dec 2012

Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think either one has put any specific offer on the table. Negotiations don't begin until both sides make an offer.

Obama is absolutely right to sit on his very specific budget proposal until the Republicans put something equally specific on the table.

And if this means we let the deadlines pass, have at it.

Don't be surprised if Obama has a good laugh at McConnell's offer, if he should ever make a real one.
