Bipartisan deficit deal now rests with Obama and Boehner

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.

"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.
We can only hope Harry Reid has a say. Otherwise...
