Mr. President, if you want to be the adult in the room - just say No. Give Mr, Boehner a two week time out. We will all be here behind you on the other side of the cliff. Go watch your convention speech. You've got work still left to do. But its work on behalf of the 98%, the progressive, liberal base of the Democratic Party, the tens of millions of people who voted for you, the 51% and still counting. Don't forget us this time.
