Much of the time between Election Day and Christmas has been spent watching the two political gladiators (President Obama and House Speaker Boehner) battle over taxes and spending to avoid the fiscal cliff.  When the media and voters are fixated on both the battle and the outcome, it is a tremendous opportunity for both parties to further define themselves and their political opponents. 
    It has been said that in politics, “You never want to waste a crisis.”   So the nation must wait until all of the theatrics of the negotiations have played out.  With no time left on the clock, we pray that good decisions are made to chart a new and prosperous future for our country.  By time you read this article, it will be clear whether an agreement had been forged by our political leaders between Christmas and New Year’s.
