he desperately wants to go over the cliff to feed off the drama, anger and watch Republicans beg and grovel.

The Obama suppository media is giddy...they act like the next election is next week(too bad, so sad). Any/all band-aid fixes will do nothing to solve the fiscal problems. Without the federal printing press/credit-card(aka counterfeiting) millions would already be selling apples on street corners...and there'd be much civil unrest making Greece look like Mardi Gras.

At this point it's all just one big ponzi scheme.

Correction: He desperately wants to redefine the cliff to feed off the drama, anger, etc. The only fiscal cliff on the scenario is the one we reach today when government can no longer borrow money. Yet you haven't heard Obama utter one word about that. The ONLY way for the GOP to pull off a win here is to refuse to increase the debt ceiling. Give Obama everything else he wants, as long as you take away his ability to buy the next election by printing up more money.
