Obama to Boehner on Title X cuts: 'Nope. Zero'

[kpete]

A senior Democratic aide says that on Thursday night at the White House, President Barack Obama told House Speaker John Boehner that the White House would include the D.C. abortion language that was in a Republican House-passed one week extension bill. That provision bans the District of Columbia from using its own local tax money to pay for abortion services.

But when Boehner later asked for the elimination of funds for Title X -- spending for women's health and family planning organizations that also provide abortion services, the aide said the president flatly refused.
The president replied, "Nope. Zero."

Boehner continued to push to discuss the funds, the aide recalled.
The President repeated: "Nope. Zero."

"'John, this is it,'" the aide described the president as saying. "'This is it, John."

2. I wish Boehner had worked for the law firm that

fired all the orange-clad employees.

He'd have been toast.
