WASHINGTON |
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner said on Friday that congressional leaders and President Barack Obama must try to move on from House Republicans' failed tax plan and work together to resolve the looming U.S. "fiscal cliff."
Boehner said he was not concerned that Thursday's withdrawn vote threatened his position as speaker, but did not outline a clear path forward.
Boehner said a divided Washington must come together to revamp the massive U.S. tax code in a way that helps spur economic growth. "How we get there, God only knows."

When are they going to understand that they are losers, and that to get any deal they need to offer something that is more attractive to Obama than going over the cliff?
The Republicans are scared of the fiscal cliff, and with god reason. For Obama it is minor bump.
The cliff is fine by me because it’s far better for fiscal balance than Obama’s UNbalanced proposal.
