Whoa! While Speaker Boehner snubbed Obama at White home getaway celebration, Senator DeMint is snubbing and slamming Speaker Boehner. Boehner had been already using some heat over purging conservatives from committees. Today, their financial cliff offer to Obama has been panned.
Boehner getting temperature from right, People in america for Prosperity on today’s cliff offer: “Sadly this plan actually leaves Conservatives desiring.”

Sen. DeMint wasted no time at all in joining the growing chorus against the offer.

Some, particularly in the news, are pointing down that DeMint had an unusual view before.
