Boehner Defiant

Speaker says House won't hand Obama "blank check," urges president to sign bipart plan to avert "crisis atmosphere" in Monday response.

Highlights:

"I gave it my all," but president would not accept it.

"The president wants a blank check. This is just not going to happen."

Halperin's Take

Boehner is a clever man, but if he has an endgame strategy for putting together a House majority before a default on 8/2, he is doing a good job of hiding it. (The same two things could also be said about Barack Obama.)
