Obama’s strategy in fiscal cliff talks exposed as political game
Charles Krauthammer argues Obama’s fiscal cliff stance aims to fracture the Republican House to gain political supremacy. He claims Geithner’s pressure, Boehner’s offers, and potential Pelosi votes show a zero-sum fight that ignores debt reduction. Krauthammer calls for GOP unity and a full restoration of Bush-era tax cuts if talks fail.
