It is now crystal-clear that Barack Obama is not dealing in good faith. I explain it at CFIF. Here’s part of it:
I cannot name a single important instance in which President Obama actually gave any substantive ground to Republicans, on anything. There wasn’t a single concession to anybody right of center in ObamaCare. There was no concession in the “debt limit” negotiations, but instead merely a postponement of the situation until he hoped political circumstances would be more favorable. And now, in these “Fiscal Cliff” talks occurring now, every time John Boehner makes an offer, Obama actually moves in the other direction…. This man has no interest in keeping the government solvent. Just the opposite: He obviously wants it to spend, spend, spend, and grow, grow, grow, no matter what. He’s playing a long-term game, for total federal-government control, no matter what the short-term damage he does.
It doesn’t help, of course, that Republicans seem utterly inept at bargaining, at strategy, at tactics, and at communications. It hurts even more that the establishment media has no standards other than left-wing ideology and fawning beatification of Obama. Obama is deliberately acting as the Grinch that steals the new year, but he will continue to be portrayed in the media as if he is a greater saint even than Mother Teresa.

"... Republicans seem utterly inept ..."
No, they are political scum that wants " total federal-government control" too. And their actions have proven this since the 1860s.
Either you are a complete fool or in the pay of the Shadow Masters to not see this as plain as the nose on your face. Why don't you just show a single instance when the Republican wing of the Uniparty REDUCED spending, borrowing, regulating, and general growth of Leviathan and shut me up.
You think you see a body of water in an immense desert and even with a mouth full of sand you keep "drinking". Nothing will stop this 80 year march from its logical conclusion of societal dismemberment, economic catastrophe, and utter self destruction.

Wait "Obama wants a crisis"? How about OBAMA IS A CRISIS? "It is now crystal-clear that Barack Obama is not dealing in good faith"? NOW? Many of us were aware of this fact pre 11/4/08, but yet the STUPIDS chose to elect him on that date and to re-elect him on 11/6/12. Why does the words BE CAREFUL OF WHAT YOU WISH FOR come back to memory or perhaps YOU BREAK IT, YOU OWN IT? 2013 will represent the beginning of the end, and for the dumbarses/STUPIDS [labor unionists, governmental employees, radical liberals, university professors, Hollywood filthy morons, snotnosers under thirty, etc; It is only hoped and prayed for that YOU ALL enjoy what you will futuristically receive from your individual/collective stupidity!!!!!!!!!!!!!
