YouTube Description
as posted by the channel"Rather than come to some agreement with the administration, House Republicans have switched to a unilateral plan to deal with the fiscal cliff: Bush-era tax rates would remain for all income under $1 million.
The White House has now announced that Obama would veto any such measure, and the House GOP's "plan B" isn't going anywhere. But it signifies something larger about what to expect in Obama's second term: That none of the incentives have changed for Republicans, meaning they still have no reason to cooperate with the President. In other words: The next four years may be largely the same as the last four."*
During his reelection campaign, President Obama said he thought Republicans would cooperate with him once the goal was no longer to defeat him. Wrong. Will they continue to fight him on the fiscal cliff? Cenk Uygur lets us know what to expect next from Obama the negotiator.
