1:46Now Playing"John A. Boehner's week on the brink ended in a painfully familiar place.
It began last week when President Obama delivered a stern message to the House speaker: If there was going to be a deal to tame the nation's debt, it had to happen now. If they went over the "fiscal cliff," it would only become harder to reach a deal, Obama said.
The next day, Friday, Boehner (R-Ohio) phoned Obama offering what seemed like a major breakthrough: Republicans would agree to raise tax rates for the first time in decades if the president gave a key concession on entitlement reform."*
Boehner's big "Plan B" was going to help him and Republicans put an end to all the negotiating with Obama and the Democrats on the fiscal cliff, right? Well...maybe not. Cenk Uygur readies the "FAIL" stamp for John Boehner.
