Welp. Tomorrow's vote will certainly tell the story.

This whole fiscal thing was a big joke. Republicans were playing all big like they had all the power. Looks like they forgot they lost the election. Now they had to settle for a deal at the last minute when they could have avoided all this in the first place. You're right Truth, its gonna be hard to see how Boener gets re elected after this mess.

"Obama Fiscal Cliff Victory Could Invite Years of Warfare With the GOP"

The president is riding high now that many Republicans have joined in raising taxes on the wealthy. But Howard Kurtz says it could prove a pyrrhic victory that could threaten his second-term agenda. [….]

HAH. As opposed to WHAT Howey??? The cakewalk the President has had the last 4 YEARS?!

Honestly. (smh AND rolling my eyes at such an absurd *warning*)

"How can Boner be re-elected? How can the House put him back in the leadership? How ? How? How?"

See: "REPUBLICAN HORROR NEW YEAR" http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2974093/…

All indications are that not only is Boehner expected to be re-elected Speaker…but that he'll be re-elected by a comfortable margin…..which (if true) will mean that the Tea-party faction (which has aggressively tried to force him out) is effectively powerless.

But I commend the President on being able to get ANYTHING accomplished considering the kinds of politically destructive opponents he's had to battle thoughout his entire presidency.

Predictably right-wing extremists are livid over this deal:

"The GOP Leadership’s betrayal of America" http://thewildernessofmirrors.wordpress.com/2013/…
