Speaker John Boehner, R-OH. , listens to President Barack Obama speak before a budget meeting at the White House with other cabinet members on Nov. 16, 2012 in Washington, D.C. (TOBY JORRIN/AFP/Getty Images) Washington, DC has been basking in unusually warm weather this week -- temperatures are stretching into the 70's -- but if anyone in the nation's Capitol is feeling a chill in the air, look no further than President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner. It seems like relations between the two of them have seldom been frostier. In fact, as ABC's Jake Tapper reports, Boehner came to the White House last night for President Obama's annual holiday party for members of Congress, but the Speaker didn't pose for a photograph with the president as he has in the past and as other lawmakers did last night.

0"Their plan includes nothing new and provides no details on which deductions they would eliminate, which loopholes they will close or which Medicare savings they would achieve," Pfeiffer said in a statement. "While the president is willing to compromise to get a significant, balanced deal and believes that compromise is readily available to Congress, he is not willing to compromise on the principles of fairness and balance that include asking the wealthiest to pay higher rates."

-0.131469"The President's proposal and Speaker Boehner's counteroffer fail to seriously deal with the reality of the problems facing the nation," Americans for Prosperity President Tim Phillips wrote in a scathing statement. "Conservatives are looking for a leader to fight against tax increases, to push back against wasteful government spending, and address the fiscal challenges in a bold way. Sadly this plan leaves Conservatives wanting."

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
