House Dem: Boehner "Courageous" For Taking Fiscal Cliff Deal To A Vote
REP. JOHN YARMUTH (D-KENTUCKY): "I just need to say something in support of Speaker Boehner. He's in a very, very difficult spot. And to a certain extent, given the dynamics of the three-way negotiations or four-way, maybe, both the Republicans and the Democrats became somewhat irrelevant in this process. And it’s really risky what he has done to basically to agree to bring this thing to the floor when so many of his conference don’t like it. So, I actually give him credit because I think he’s taken a pretty courageous stand, even if he wasn’t a very powerful player in negotiating it." (via Politico)
