Although my departed friend Cliff
was never overtly political, I'm sure all this "fiscal cliff" business is something
that may have captured his attention, if only for the "Cliff" part. And while he passed on before he got the opportunity
to vote for or against Obama in 2008, it seems logical to assume that the president
--then just a few years beyond his days as a community organizer -- would have earned
Cliff's vote. After all, being a man
who often boasted of being able to "recognize game," Cliff is certain to have
recognized it in President Obama.
But the question is, when will
the GOP?
