I will be very surprised if a deal takes place.

The way I see it, if there is failure to make a deal, Obama gets big tax hikes. Obama gets big cuts in Defense. The economy will suffer. The Republicans will get the blame.

Obama is here because he needs a deal, and thought the Repubs were just going to cave while he sat on the beach in Hawaii. When the pubbies didn't fold, he had to come back to get a deal because if he doesn't taxes go up on EVERYONE. There are a ton of HIS voters that haven't paid taxes for eight years that all of a sudden will have to start keeping records and filling out forms. They will go bat-sh!t, and Obamugabe knows it, that's why he needs a deal that raises taxes on the rich, but preserves the dreaded Bush tax cuts for almost everyone.

Go over the cliff, Repubs, and watch Obama get impeached by his own people.

Taxes going up 50% on the working poor from 10 to 15 percent. Obama owns it. Jump baby and lets watch NBC and Hollyweird defend it.

They (Bronco's supporters) will go bat-sh!t

Yes, they will, but I'll bet they won't blame him. Nothing so far that has been his fault has stuck to him. They are so wedded to their messiah they will believe anything he tells them. This will somehow be George Bush's and the Republican's fault for trying to protect their rich friends at the expense of the poor and downtrodden. Bronco could set fire to the White House on live television and then blame it on the fat cat owners of the match company and his idiot throngs would join in in condemning the match manufacturer. These are evil, soulless, Godless, hollow husks of humans we are dealing with.
