NBC News ^ | 12/27/12 | Frank Thorp, Luke Russert and Michael O'Brien

The House of Representatives will reconvene on Sunday evening, just less than 30 hours before the United States reaches the fiscal cliff.

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, notified lawmakers that the House would come to order at 6:30 p.m. ET on Sunday in hopes of averting the end-of-year combination of tax hikes and spending cuts that constitute the fiscal cliff.

I;m a strong believer in rubbing the noses of people in the crap they brought us.

Poetic justice.

Well boehner already folded and still it wasn’t enough for obama. I would think obama prefers to go over the cliff and then start over but we will see. It’s his deal. He may see advantages either way. In fact he may want a one month agreement and then start up the fun again after SOTU

Below is my post from Dec. 9.

I expect we will see the BS meter pegged again in two weeks when the "solution" to the current "EOTW" is sprung on America. I would think the tax rates will be extended but what will be attached to that will be yet another horror story from the communist agenda "liberal and progressive" donks and hailed as "unprecedented and historic" by the mouthpiece media.

Right now they are just running out the clock to create the "We Must Act Now" scenario to pass something without anyone having a chance to see what it actually is.

Old, tired, monotonous, simple minded donk crap... and the insane communist agenda "liberal progressives" will cheer it on.

Little bammy hussein will make a speech on TV, interrupting everybody, and proclaim how he has once again cleverly and skillfully saved TWAWKI and the MPM will golf clap.

Total and complete communist vomit... .

Are the representatives going to be able to actually read the bill before voting on it this time ?

Doesn’t look like it. Boner is calling them in at 6pm on Sunday and the bill needs to be signed by Obama by midnight on Tuesday, right?

And I wouldn’t expect that the House, Senate and Obama want to work late on New Year’s Eve. Especially if Obama is spending New Year’s Eve with Reggie Love, since Moochelle is still in Hawaii.

I don’t know all the intricacies, but this might be OK. Obama taking a vacation was a good thing. It showed he wasn’t serious. Bringing the House back shows that the Republicans are serious.

"...and then start up the fun again after SOTU"

He'll have more "flexibility" by then.

Was it Leno who coined "Plan F" and "Plan U"?

Who’s the fourth guy at that table, with his back to the camera? Looks to me like it could be John Roberts.

"pass something without anyone having a chance to see what it actually is."

To borrow from Stretch Pelosi re: ObamaCare vote:

We have to pass it to see what is in it.

It’s always great to see FReepers falling for the leftie memes and repeating them.

Say it over and over again, Boehner and McC are as worthless as a one-legged clothespin. Past is prologue to destruction.
