House GOP leader John Boehner pressed Obama to renew soon to expire Bush era tax cuts and back aggressive spending cuts. He urged Geithner Summers and other economic aides be replaced, saying more than a year of government as community organizer failed to revive the economy. Biden countered that Boehner offered opposition not an agenda and noted Obama supports extending the tax cuts for 98 percent of taxpayers.
