John Boehner

The president's idea of a negotiation is roll over and do what I ask.

It's unfortunate that the White House has spent three weeks doing basically nothing.

It was not a serious proposal. And so right now, we're almost nowhere.

No substantive progress has been made in the talks between the White House and the House over the last two weeks. I got to tell you, I'm disappointed in where we are. I'm disappointed in what's happened over the last couple of weeks. But…

The American people have also made clear that there is no mandate for raising tax rates.

I told Tom earlier in our conference meeting that I disagreed with him. It will hurt small businesses. It will hurt our economy. That is why this is not the right approach.

House Speaker John Boehner is calling it the president's 'Thelma & Louise' strategy.

John Boehner has said in several ways that he doesn't want that.

The president will veto a deal that doesn't contain tax hikes on high earners.

To unshackle the private sector.

This legislation will protect the rights of our states to determine state fiscal policies and establish a level playing field for all retailers.

The bill will not create a new tax. Nor will it require our states to raise taxes.

S. 1832 is the Marketplace Fairness Act, sponsored by Senators Enzi, Durbin, Alexander, and others.

As the president has made clear that he is not going to use this horrific event to push for new gun laws. I agree.
