"We want you to lead."Barack Obama offered 2 1/2 dollars in spending cuts for every dollar in tax increases well over two years ago and Boehner and the Republican obstructionists in Congress now want to work together.
Boehner said House Republicans are asking Obama "to make good on a balanced approach" that would including spending cuts and address government social benefit programs."
