Boehner says we're far from time for "last ditch" effort

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said today that he wasn’t yet ready to discuss the possibilities of a modified version of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s proposal being adopted as part of a deal to raise the debt limit.

McConnell proposed a complicated plan to allow President Obama to raise the debt limit without Republicans having to directly vote on it, and yesterday Boehner said it should be left on the table because it “might look pretty good in a few weeks.”
