Yep... we're pretty much fucked.

Boehner walks out of budget talks.

Because how dare we remove the Bush-era tax cuts on the rich? Won't someone think about the multi-millionaires?

But he did actually show up to today's emergency session.

Because otherwise he knew he was putting a bullet in his political career. :P

What amazes me is the old forum that I still hang out on now and then, there's a couple of archconservatives on there that swear this is all Obama's fault, because he refuses to negotiate in good faith. Something about how he doesn't actually intend to keep his promises to cut spending.
