Out on a Limb
As we watch the president and the speaker give and take on the fiscal cliff negotiations, I am drawn to making this prediction.  If they are successful at negotiating a deal here, this will signal that they have both decided to work together and found a way to work together.  That will mean that they will then take on a wide variety of must-do challenges:  immigration reform, tax reform, budgetary reform, and more.  Like Clinton and Gingrich, they will come together to put country first.  And as a result, I predict that there is a better than even chance that John Beohner will be a leading candidate for the Republican nomination in 2016.  If it is on the basis of what I describe here, this will be good news for America.
