Obama Backed Down

On Friday, March 9, ten days ago, we wrote that Speaker Boehner told The Wall Street Journal's Peggy Noonan that the President backed out on a debt and tax reform deal. Boehner could be expected to tell his side of the story.

Now Politico's Jake Sherman describes the investigative reporting of The Washington Post showing Boehner was essentially telling the truth. Obama got cold feet and backed out of the deal. The Post story runs in yesterday's paper, authored by Peter Wallsten. We will hear more about this story.
