Aides: 'Super Committee' likely to announce failure to reach debt deal By Lisa Desjardins and Kate Bolduan, CNN
Washington (CNN) -- Members of the "super committee" charged with coming up with $1.2 trillion in budget cuts are focused on how to announce failure to reach a deal, Democratic and Republican aides confirmed to CNN Sunday.
While aides said no final decision had been made, they acknowledged that -- barring an unforeseen development -- an announcement of no deal is the most likely scenario.
Talks on trying to reach a deficit reduction agreement are essentially over and discussions are focused on a Monday announcement, a senior Democratic aide said.
Another senior Democratic source said, "No decisions or agreement has been reached concerning any announcement or how this will end. But, yes, the likely outcome is no agreement will be reached." A Republican aide said, "I don't think they've decided when they will do it."

Duh
It sounds as though the ‘RATS on the “super committee” want Obama to fail.
what did we expect?
A failure before it ever started.
Well, since it failed, the GOP leaders who who supported it should be replaced..
sounds like they want to be re-elected so the yellow is showing up on their spine.
You need to study communism harder.
What they are doing is perfectly obvious. They don't want Obama to fail.
The “super committee” was a goofy idea to begin with. All it shows is that politicians are AFRAID to do the job the people elected them to do. If they do what is right for America, their freeloader base won’t reelect them.
Why in the hell would anyone want to be president?
This ship is going down.
As intended when Harry Reid cooked it up and served it to gullible McConnell and Boehner.
It’s just the latest way to bundle everything together at once, create and emergency so senators and representatives don’t have to debate anything on the floor. No amendments, no conference committees.
This is not legislating. This is arisocracy in the guise of legislating.
Well who’s fault is that?
We are the same ones that keep electing this aristocracy of the Professional Political class to office.
This will be a big “I told you so” for Newt Gingrich. No one came out stronger against this whole idea than Newt.

Those in DC are addicted to their perks and power and they’ll do anything to keep it. And that includes having cocktails together every evening and discussing ways to hang onto office.
We’re all being forced to sit and watch this nation be destroyed by both parties.
“Well, since it failed, the GOP leaders who who supported it should be replaced..”
Hensarling blowing kisses on TV and getting a rhetorical sledge hammer to the head in return from the dims. With leaders like this we are doomed.
Boehner & McConnell and the rest of the GOP “leadership” will be damned by history.
Good!
