The Daily Beast--ULTIMATUM
Looks like John Boehner is getting an ultimatum for the holidays. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell issued a statement Thursday urging the House Republicans to pass the Senate’s compromise that will extend the payroll-tax cut—and President Obama has backed McConnell's ultimatum. While McConnell acknowledged Republicans’ complaints about Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s refusal to send negotiators to the House GOP to create a new bill, McConnell clearly calls for the House to pass some form of the Senate's bill. In a speech Thursday, Obama told the House Republicans that “we should go ahead and get this done” and urged them to follow McConnell's deal. The comment comes only hours after GOP strategist Karl Rove told Boehner to cave and pass the Senate’s compromise.from Alice: Thanks, anyway. My PCP cut me today anyway with the threatened 1/3 reduction in dr reembursements for those on Medicare. Now I have no doctor.
Merry Christmas!
