I hear all the talking heads saying Pres. Obama has to meet the Repubilicans half way on the budget. I say the President really does not need do anything. The last time we hit a serious cliff and the repubilicans refused to do a deal the dow hit 6000. trillions of dollar of wealth were lost in open trading. Then wallstreet put pressure on repubilicans to do a deal. wallstreet and corporations stand to lose more money without a deal. President Obama is holding a full house this time. He should call thier all in.
