Cave: House Speaker John Boehner now open to tax hikes...

John Boehner is wrong. Voters did not vote for bipartisanship. If that was their goal, they would have voted for Romney. Obama and Harry Reid don't have a bipartisan bone in their bodies.  If John Boehner raises taxes, he will get a well deserved primary challenger.

Via CNBC:

House Speaker John Boehner offered Wednesday to pursue a deal with a victorious President Barack Obama that will include higher taxes “under the right conditions” to help reduce the nation’s staggering debt and put its finances in order.

Mr. President, this is your moment,” Boehner told reporters, speaking about the “fiscal cliff” that will hit in January. “We want you to lead.”

Boehner said House Republicans are asking Obama “to make good on a balanced approach” that would including spending cuts and address government social benefit programs.

“Let’s find the common ground that has eluded us,” Boehner said while congratulating the president on winning a second term.
