The more I watch and read about the so-called discussions between the WH and Congress the more I am convinced that Obama is not serious. To wit, he campaigned on raising taxes $900B but is now asking for $1.6T. He campaigned on reducing spending but he is now talking about "investing" in more government programs. He continues to meet in secret with disparate groups of lawmakers to discuss the fiscal cliff but does not include senior GOP leaders (i.e., see Jeff Sessions recent remarks as further evidence). He wants tax increases now and talks about cuts to occur later.

The more I think about it the more I am starting to fall into the camp of those who believe the GOP should simply turn this mess over to Obama and Harry Reid and let them own it. They should all simply vote present and let the Democrats be responsible for the disaster that will follow. I realize this will have devastating consequences for the country but frankly elections have consequences and those that voted to return TOTUS to the WH and left Democrats in charge of the Senate deserve to experience those consequences.

I feel sorry for the rest of us that tried to warn you but at this point it is simply not worth taking one bit of blame for what is going to happen. I don't any longer believe there is any desire for negotiation. They simply want to be able to lay part of the blame for their disastrous economic policies on the GOP. But hey, at least women have their access to contraception and abortion, hispanics have their hope of amnesty and blacks get someone whose skin color matches theirs regardless of the content of his character.
