No mention of Obama jetting off to another multi-million dollar vacation to Hawaii, or the constant shifting in his position. Dont get me wrong, I feel the President has played Boehner like a Stradivarius, with the medias help. As much as I disagree with the AC's above tone, and blind rhetoric, he does have a distinct point. BTW...what makes MSNBC or CNN, or any of the other "news" organizations any more or less biased than FOX? IMHO, at least FOX tries to present both sides, and the Lib/Progressive guests get a say and arent shouted down and called morons like the opposition are on lets say...MSNBC. [/quote] Of course, the President has no say in the matter because it is CONGRESS which needs to do something. [/quote] The president has been creating executive orders nonstop that supersede our constitution in every way without the consent of Congress. Who's to say he won't step in and do it in this matter?? [/quote]

CAPITOL HILL — U.S. lawmakers are heading home for the Christmas holidays without any agreement or even a clear path forward on a way to avoid a combination of massive tax increases and spending cuts known as the fiscal cliff. The entire process came to a standstill late Thursday, when the Speaker of the House of Representatives, John Boehner, was unable to muster enough votes in his own Republican caucus for a bill that would only have raised taxes on incomes of $1 million a year.
