The “fiscal cliff” comments spoken by House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, doesn’t have a clear definition for President Obama, but it’s likely a call for cooperation and suggested the GOP might accept new government revenues.
The revenues defined could be made possible through an overhaul of the tax code as part of a deal to reduce the federal debt.“Mr. President, this is your moment,” Boehner said. “Let’s challenge ourselves to find the common ground that has eluded us.”Obama campaign adviser David Axelrod said Obama plans to follow through on his pledge to end the George W. Bush tax cuts for Americans earning more than $250,000 a year, and feels bolstered by his election victory.
i'm sorry the same people who wreaked such havov on our system are still there, they did nothing but claim their sticking to their beliefs, we have seen their beliefs and it has nothing to do with compromise or making a deal, why should we believe they have seen the light. anything they do will still be cored in their radical me me not you you philosophy. hope i'm wrong but i think they will throw caution to the wind and maintain their status quo, like the scorpion and the frog, it's their nature.
"Hopefully people will read those results and read them as a vote for cooperation and will come to the table," Axelrod told MSNBC's Morning Joe. "And obviously everyone's going to have to come with an open mind to these discussions." But," he added, "if the attitude is that nothing happened on Tuesday, that would be unfortunate."
The White House announced that Obama has spoken to Boehner and other congressional leaders by phone since his re-election Tuesday, seeking a deal to to reduce the federal debt while avoiding the expiration of tax cuts at the end of the year."
