Boehner: No Budget Deal 'Imminent'

President Obama may be upbeat in public about the latest budget talks, but John Boehner? Not so much. No budget deal is “imminent,” the House speaker said today, and the parties still face "serious disagreements." Boehner sounded a bit more optimistic only yesterday, telling House Republicans there was a 50-50 chance of an agreement this weekend, the Wall Street Journal reports. As it stands, though, Boehner has no deal with Obama “in public or private,” and “it's not like there's some imminent deal about to happen.” (More John Boehner stories.)
