82. Obama's clean debt-ceiling request stuns Boehner

http://www.marketwatch.com/story/obamas-clean-debt-ceiling-request-stuns-boehner-2012-05-17?link=MW_latest_news

President Barack Obama's refusal to tie spending cuts to a hike in the U.S. debt limit "almost took my breath away," House Speaker John Boehner said on Thursday. Obama met Boehner and other congressional leaders for a White House lunch on Wednesday and reportedly clashed over raising the debt ceiling. Boehner wants spending cuts to equal any hike in the debt limit.
