Boehner gave few details as to the yet-to-be-seen proposal, according to an official who participated in the conference call held following a tense meeting at the White House on Saturday afternoon.

The Speaker told his colleagues that any deal will be a product of congressional leadership – not a compromise struck with the White House, the source said, noting that “strategically not working with the president, but with the Senate could be better for him.”
