As the fiscal cliff looms, two questions for President Obama

The fiscal cliff is looming ever closer, and there is enough finger pointing from all parties on what to do about it. There is also enough blame directed at both parties, this administration as well as past administrations, on who is responsible. None of us know what is going on behind the scenes to solve this problem. We only hear what each party wants us to hear. On the surface, it seems the Republicans are offering up ideas for debate whereas the president says he won't consider any proposal unless the Republicans agree first to raise taxes on the rich, period.
