And he may get what he wants in terms of the debt ceiling as well.
At this point, there is almost no upside to dealing with Republicans. Actually..there is none.
Once the Fiscal Cliff is done, so are they. They will lose the house in 2014.
Obama gets to sunset the Bush Tax cuts..and get the Defense cuts that were necessary to balance the budget. And he's got a great deal of leverage..since he can soften those.
Well played.
Personally..I didn't see this when the sequester deal was done.
I'm not sure why you think the Dems will win in 2014 after going over the fiscal cliff, causing a recession and everyone's taxes to rise. That's not usually a winning formula.
Because they won't be seen as responsible.
Right now close to 80% of the public thinks taxes should go up.
Obama's at 51% popularity.
And congress is in the low teens.
It's all about winning with you people, not what's best for the people and this country..
and this crap about 80% of the public thinks taxes should go up, was that a poll done on thinkprogress, dailyKos?
I never thought I'd see the day when you people would cheer for others taxes to be raised..
it's small and pathetic in my book
