[11th Commandment]

I am stunned how many people/pundits in the middle to the right, believe Obama and the Rats want to work out a deal and avoid sequester. I guess they were not happy enough being wrong about the election.

They way I see it, Obama set himself up perfectly to get everything he wants without doing anything

1.) Obama Care starts unabated in January. Besides a few states that will not set up exchanges and not funds for federal exchanges, Obama has to do nothing to implement healthcare.

2.) He also needs to due nothing to raise taxes on the rich. Taxes on the rich go up next year- nothing can stop that. If he can't reach a deal he wants, he gets the added benefit of raising taxes on the middle class and blaming the GOP.

3.) Defense spending gets cut and America is weaker. Just what he wants.

All of this above he campaigned on. Why would he go back on his word.

Exactly. It amazes me how few poeple realize that Obama wants the economy to tank. Period.

That and so much more.
