He then negotiated a deal that a majority of the GOP backed, and that met Obama's criteria. He said that Obama then balked.
He also said that he was shocked that Obama did not run with the deficit reduction and entitlement reform issue after the 2010 elections. He thought it would be in the State of the Union and it wasn't.
Both he and Simpson looked exasperated and very scared about the situation.
