I'll let Harry Reid speak for me on that one:
With Vice President Joseph Biden's bipartisan deficit talks suddenly unraveling, all eyes are now turning to the two people ultimately responsible for resolving the partisan standoff on spending and taxes: President Barack Obama and Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio).
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) caught many off guard Thursday by pulling out of Biden’s group, which has been meeting frequently since May 5 to hammer out a massive bipartisan deficit reduction package.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) knocked “the non-adult attitude of Sen. Kyl and Leader Cantor” and said it is now up to top Congressional leaders to get the job done.We can only hope Harry Reid has a say. Otherwise...
"I think it's now, with what Kyl and Cantor's done, I think it's in the hands of the speaker and the president and sadly, probably, me,” Reid said.
