Obama: Fiscal Cliff Deal 'Still A Work In Progress'
Exiting the West Wing at 12:30 this afternoon en route to a holiday reception at Blair House, the President was asked by a reporter if he was feeling optimistic that an agreement can be reached to avoid the impending tax increases and spending cuts set to kick in on Jan. 1. “It’s still a work in progress,” he said. With negotiations at a standstill, House Speaker John Boehner continued today to blame Obama for failing to outline specific spending cuts. “Republicans want to solve this problem by getting the spending line down,” Boehner, R-Ohio, said. “The president wants to pretend that spending isn’t the problem. That’s why we don’t have an agreement. ” When a reporter at the White House noted that Boehner is waiting to hear more specifics from him, the president simply smiled and said, “Merry Christmas.
