Tick tock on the on the fiscal cliff negotiations...

 Politico has an interesting tick tock on how the fiscal cliff negotiations played out over thelast several weeks. Utilizing numerous interviews from White Houee and Congressional leadership staffers, the article walks the reader through the entire process from the last two months.

From trade-offs from all sides to John Boehner telling Harry Reid not once, but twice no less to "...go fuck yourself," its a compelling portrait of how this legislation got made and the fiscal cliff was avoided.

It is worth your time to read this...Great work by Politico's John Breshahan, Carrie Budoff Brown, Manu Raju and Jake Sherman.
