Andrew Taylor: Republicans Press Obama on Spending!

Its finally happened: Top House Republicans pressed Obama Wednesday for a detailed plan on budget cuts, and one leading lawmaker accused him of distorting a GOP Medicare proposal at the center of the "partisan divide" over spending. White House press secretary Jay Carney supposedly said that the meeting was "productive" (yeah, right!), despite the absence of any signs of progress. In other words, nothing was done, except the bombing of Libya! Jay, if I may call him that, also made clear that Obama has no intention of letting up on his "assertions" that Republican Paul Ryan's Plan to send future Medicare recipients into the private insurance marketplace will "end soon" .
