John Boehner ’60 Minutes’ Don’t Believe In Compromise

The headlines in the Huffington Post this morning serves notice that the next Speaker of the House does not believe in compromise.  Well he should do great in his dealings with Mr. Compromise Himself.  President Obama just last week informed us all of his position which is always compromise.  The problem is if one side of a negotiation doesn’t compromise and the other always compromises guess who comes out the winner.  This is no way to mediate through the nation’s business Mr. President.

The country may have been founded upon compromise but it was founded on compromise resulting from intense argument and intense debate.  Check out the Federalist Papers for that one.  No this country used to have diverse commitments to principles that mattered and the folks with those principles fought hard for them.  They stood up when it counted on the major issues.  You Mr. President have not demonstrated the will to fight for major issues that you told us that you believed in and your message appeared genuine.

It is just not genuine to forsake your stated position on the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy and the extremely elite of this country.  Now John Boehner comes out strong with a no compromise pledge.

Even if he is lying, it is a dramatic slap in your face given your pledge to compromise away the Democratic position at every turn.  This will be a long and painful two more years.
