House Majority Leader Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) sat down with Fox News Sunday's Chris Wallace where he said he was "flabbergasted" by the proposal President Barack Obama offered Congressional Republicans last week to resolve the fiscal cliff. Boehner said that the proposal was so unserious that it set negotiations back and, today, he says negotiations are "nowhere. Period. Nowhere."
“I was flabbergasted. I looked at him and said, ‘You can’t be serious,’ ” Boehner said . “I’ve just never seen anything like it. You know, we’ve got seven weeks between Election Day and the end of the year, and three of those weeks have been wasted with this nonsense.”
