Boehner's comments show it won't be easy to reach a deal on the thorny tax and spending issues, said Greg Valliere, chief political strategist at Potomac Research Group in Washington.

HorseFeathers!!! Why is it always up to the GOP to "compromise" with Husein the statist. He's taken tax cuts off the table, won't negotiate on 0bamacare or do anything to avert the fiscal cliff, yet it's always the GOP who are obstructionist. He acts like he has a decisive mandate when in reality he skated in by a few percentage points because he won places like Philly with 108% of the vote!!!! (Nothing to see there, move along....)

None of this matters though because the MSM acts as if the community organizer won in a landslide, and sadly so do Boehner and the GOP.

I'm getting to the point where I no longer even debate with liberals, I hope 0boober gets all he wants and we go right over the cliff.

It’ll be easy to reach a deal alright.

What won’t be easy is how to position that smoke and mirrors so as to fool the stock, bond and currency traders into thinking something of substance has transpired.

The American public, well, they’re easily fooled so no worries there.

Considering that O was re-elected for no good reasons and Bohners history of negotiations with Dems have been disastrous so far I cant helping thinking :

“Lets go off the cliff, to hell with it. If GWB was responsible for the bad economy at the end of his term then why try to save O from his? Let him worry about his legacy.”

Anyone see a good ending for us here?

I predict a tourniquet will be applied at the last day, but in the long run it won’t matter, for the patient will still bleed to death. When, is anybody’s guess. The GOP “leadership” will surely fail us again and again.

Boner's busy packin’ his personal parachute for when he helps push us off that cliff.

Words are not Actions.

Actions are not Results.

Expectation here is only for tears.

We need to jump over the fiscal cliff. We need to deleverage our debt below the 77% debt-to-GDP on our soveriegn and get out from under the 350% debt-to-GDP on the TCMDO.

This means spending cuts AND more taxes, both of which are in the "fiscal cliff."

Nothing is going to stop the long-wave contraction; the tussling up on Capital Hill is fiddlers playing and rearranging chairs as they try to pretend they didn't hit an iceberg.

Boehner will fold like an origamist paper project.

The GOP is just Democrat-Lite if they do not vote out Boehner as Speaker....he is an invertibrate

It'll be difficult right up to the moment Boehner caves. Like he ALWAYS does.

Isn’t it interesting how, according to Reuters, it is Boehner’s comments - - not Pelosi’s, Reid’s, or Ubanga’s comments - - that “show a tough road ahead” for fiscal cliff talks?
