"Republicans want to work with Democrats to deal with the issues the American people sent us here to deal with. Unfortunately, Democrats have decided to go their own way," House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) told reporters June 26.
I think the good Congressman spent too much time in the sun over the July 4th recess. I don't see how leading a party that has 147 of its members pledging their fealty to the president to sustain any veto he issues is a party willing "work with Democrats to deal with the issues the American people sent" them to Washington to do. That's not a compromise, that's trying to get Democrats to holler "uncle!"
