GOP would rather burn down House than compromise, says President Pen and Phone at fundraiser

At his seventh fundraiser this weekend, President Obama used the Republicans’ effort to find the next Speaker of the House as proof that the GOP “has gone off the deep end” and would sooner burn down the House than settle for a speaker who would capitulate — that is, compromise — with the opposition, reports CBS News’ Mark Knoller.

At 7th and last fundraiser of this trip, Pres Obama said Republicans have "gone off the deep end." Said it's apparent in House Speaker race.

In the president's view, Tea Party Republicans would rather burn down the House than admit the democratic process "requires compromise."

If only they could follow the example set by famous Democrat negotiators like Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi.

If that didn’t get rich Democrats to open their checkbooks, certainly the destruction of the planet should do it.

If Dems dont stand up to the GOP in 2016, said @POTUS, "then you’ve got people in charge who don’t believe in climate change."

@markknoller @POTUS

If GOP don't stand up to Dems in 2016, you'll have people in charge who don't believe in capitalism.
