"I have news straight from sources close to the super committee that the Democrats have walked away from the table and they're refusing to talk with the Republicans about a deal. They will not counter ..."

"But it doesn't help if he's calling us names on the campaign trail all the time."

"My suspicion is maybe the president doesn't want a deal, that maybe he sees his campaign to benefit by not having a deal."

"He's not doing that. He's on the campaign trail all the time bashing us."
