Boehner, Pelosi meet, can't agree on who called sit down
By Erik Wasson
Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) met privately with Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) in his Capitol office suite Wednesday.
<...>
Reps. Pelosi and Hoyer asked for the meeting..." Boehner spokesman Michael Steel said...Pelosi claimed that Boehner had asked for the meeting.
<...>
Yesterday when I was asked by the Speaker to meet today, I was hopeful he was going to offer a proposal that would allow us to re-open government, avert a default that would harm the full faith and credit of the United States, and take us to the budget conference table," she said.
Whip Hoyer and I reiterated that there are 200 Democratic votes to accept the Republican budget number of $986 billion to re-open government, and that we would agree to smooth the path to a budget conference. We were disappointed the Speaker did not take yes for an answer," she added.
