McConnell: 'Real Deal' Not Possible While Obama Rules

Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell says that "a real solution [to the nation's staggering deby problem] is unattainable" so long as President Obama remains in office.
And Speaker of the House John Boehner says the President and his allies are basically all talk and no action when it comes to cutting spending and decreasing the nation's debt.
Here's a late-breaking excerpt from the Wall Street Journal:
"This debt-limit increase is his problem," Mr. Boehner said after a morning meeting with Republican House members. "The president talks a good game, but when it comes time to actually putting these issues on the table, making decisions, they can't quite pull the trigger."
Mr. McConnell said he concluded after the latest negotiations that the administration had "expressed a fundamental unwillingness" to agree to significant spending cuts.
"But after years of discussions and months of negotiations, I have little question that as long as this president is in the Oval Office, a real solution is unattainable," Mr. McConnell said in a Senate floor speech.
