Well, that's Washington for you.
But I think it will eventually work itself out.
And it's not the first, and probably won't be the last time someone else takes the fall for Obama and his shortcomings in leadership skills.

Maybe they can make a deal and Boner will allow a vote if Reid will allow some votes on the stack of legislation that is sitting on his desk. See how that works they are both the same.

Some people have to learn the hard way.

Once again the two party's are more interested in manuvering for power than they are the health of the Nation.
I can't wait to see how the hardliners defend their parties.
Reid is a scum bag and knows that going off the cliff will ensure more seats for dems.
The GOP is dug in and rather than swallow their pride and compromise will allow this to happen.
Perhaps waterboarding the leaders of both parties would influence the others to be more cooperative?

Did Reid call the Boner a tyrant? is this the same guy that has a stack of legislation on his desk that he also won't bring to a vote? Both Reid and Boner are petty tyrants funny that they belong to different parties. I guess that supports the theory that there is petty tyrants in both parties.

We are likely to go off the Cliff. No one in Congress wants to cooperate and all of Congress will be blamed.

Jon Boner. Useless. Can't even get his party to vote for his Plan b. Plan b was a complete and utter failure and waste of time.

The polls show that the majority of the blame will be on the GOP and rightfully so. But of course these polls are bias, just ask Rove and Dick Morris.
