Obama-Boehner Deal Near?

Key people in the Obama Administration say that the President and the Speaker of the House are close to working out a deal to save the country. Obama's Press Secretary, Jay Carney, denies that a deal is close. Boehner's Chief of Staff also denies that a deal is close.

Democrats in Congress don't like the prospects of such a deal as they think it may give up more than the Gang of Six deal. Republicans in Congress don't like it because it includes tax increases.

Maybe it won't save the country.
