Obama ‘Abruptly’ Walks Out of Debt Talks

Andrew Stiles at National Review Online:

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R., Va.) told reporters outside the House chamber that Wednesday afternoon’s meeting at the White House ended with President Obama “abruptly walking out” of the room. Cantor expressed a growing frustration over the rapidly dwindling spending cuts believed to have been agreed to in the Biden negotiations, having gone from about $2 trillion in savings to less than $1.4 trillion over the course of several days.

Mr. President. You don’t get to run away from hard decisions. You signed up for this.
