[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 1052252, member: 22662"] That's what I'm talking about. It's time republicans figured out that Obama's slogan "Forward" is not just for the campaign. He isn't playing in a sandbox; he's a skilled politician who knows the ropes of governance as well as any. Negotiations about the debt ceiling and automatic tax increases are already in progress. Whether you think Obama is capable of moving to the center or not, he has the political capital to make people believe that where he is is the center. That is a choke hold on republican politicians. He has the luxury of letting us fall off the fiscal cliff and then placing tax cuts for 98% of the public in front of the congressional republicans and dare them to vote against them. Now is not the time to languish in emotion. "Forward" is happening now, with or without the republicans on board. Should they choose to obstruct further, they will truly face the voter's wrath in 2014. [/QUOTE]
