OK, so we spoiled Mark Knoller’s pop quiz with our headline, but you weren’t going to guess “magic,” were you?
@markknoller A) Frank

Aides for Rep. John Boehner described this afternoon’s meeting with the president as “frank.” Still, many were hoping for magic.
@markknoller c) magic. Because it will take magic to fix our debt/defecit at the rate these clowns are working.

@markknoller Well, it was with @BarackObama OF COURSE it was magic. Did they have the unicorns pooping rainbows too? #mustsee

Any progress, then? The most we have to go on from reporters waiting outside is that the meeting lasted less than an hour, but the lines of communication are open.
Just like a therapy session, the POTUS/Boehner meeting lasted just 50 minutes. From 510 pm to 6 pm.

We are officially back to "lines of communication remain open" per Boehner spox. 50-minute discussion in Oval was "frank."

Both sides describe Obama mtg w/Boehner at the White House as "frank"; say the "lines of communication remain open."

Um, which means?
obama and boehner had a "frank" discussion tonight. translation: did not go well. next stop: over the cliff?

Query: Are the "frank" private exchanges between POTUS and Boehner more frank or less frank than their public statements?

Inside the Oval: Obama: "Direct?" Boehner: "Forceful?" Obama: "Frank?" Boehner: "Frank! YES! That's it" – Discussion during #FiscalCliff mtg

Aides for both Boehner and the president aren’t releasing any more details, and the president was rather tight-lipped as he headed past reporters into the meeting.
