Funny,
According to Bob Woodward who is most famous for being the man who brought down a Republican President, John Boehner was ready to deliver on a compromise that would have significantly reduced the deficit, even though he would have faced serious flack from the roght of his party.
The deal was agreed to by Boehner and Obama.
Yet afterwards Obama walked back and reneged on his side of the deal.
So how exactly did the Republicans refuse to deal with Obama?
