End The Shutdown - Boehner Got Phone Call, Conversation and Meeting He Asked For

The MSM repeatedly allows Boehner to recite his Frank Lutz talking points about all he wanted to do was get a phone call, conversation or meeting with the President. Well, as of today, he will get all that. Indeed, in face saving move, Boehner has been calling the Thursday meeting a "negotiation." However, if Boehner reneges on his statements that he would allow a vote to reopen the government or raise the debt ceiling, will the media continue to allow Boehner to lie about how the President is not even speaking to him. I can almost imagine the press conference after the meeting where Boehner says that the President is refusing to meet with him with President standing in the same room saying, "I'm right here, John."

Also, will the media call this for what it is: extortion. Republicans don't want a negotiation. They are issuing demands that they must receive or they will shoot the hostage, which is the American economy.
