FoxNews Admission: Obama WILL Get His Way [View all]

[tomm2thumbs]

Finally a bit of truth-telling on FoxNews.

Bill Kristol makes it plain and clear that elections DO have consequences, and that despite posturing by Republicans to make it seem otherwise, the Democrats are in control of how the Fiscal Cliff deal unfolds and it will lean their way, not towards the demands of the Republicans -- despite their hold on the House of Representatives.

Kristol makes no bones about it.

1. Barack Obama was re-elected.

2. Democrats won seats in the Senate

3. Democrats won seats in the House.


As he puts it, Boehner will not hold his own caucus against a small rate hike on millionaires.

______

They know. They try to pretend. But they know.

* Kristol was also one of the first to admit Obama pretty much had this election wrapped up a long time ago, based on internal polling from the Romney campaign.

He predicts the deal will shift millionaire's rates from 35% to 39%.
