  5. Boehner's 'Plan B' isn't the deal, but it may lead to one

    House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) is unusually concise for a politician, but the statement he made <a href="http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/12/19/video-boehners-52-second-response-to-obama/">in front of the TV cameras</a> Wednesday afternoon was terse even by his standards. He spent less than a minute telling reporters that President Obama's latest deficit-reduction offer was neither "balanced" nor "serious."

  9. Obama's 'balanced' approach hits a Democratic wall

    A common complaint about President Obama is that he spent more time campaigning than governing. But as he <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2012/sep/20/news/la-ol-obama-cant-change-washington-20120920">told a Univision forum</a> in September, he sees little difference between the two, considering the obstruction posed by Republicans on Capitol Hill.
