Walk Out?

Cantor says Bam abruptly left White House debt dust-up.

Democratic aide to Politico (this will help the talks!): “Cantor’s account of tonight’s meeting is completely overblown. For someone who knows how to walk out of a meeting, you’d think he know it when he saw it. Cantor rudely interrupted the president three times to advocate for short-term debt ceiling increases while the president was wrapping the meeting. This is just more juvenile behavior from him and Boehner needs to rein him in, and let the grown-ups get to work.

Latest Gang of 10 budget gathering lasts nearly two hours Wed afternoon.
