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.
