They proceeded to fritter most of it away by disparaging each other's offers. When John Boehner, the Republican speaker of the House of Representatives, met reporters on December 7th, he moaned, This isn't a progress report, because there is no progress to report. Now, with less than three weeks to go, the pace has at last picked up. Mr Boehner and Mr Obama have talked twice in the past week, and representatives of both have exchanged offers. Publicly they say they are still far apart, but that is to be expected: serious negotiations seldom take place in front of cameras. The absence of failure, at least so far, is seen by some as good news. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
