“Obama, Boehner meet about fiscal cliff”

Washington D.C. -- Twenty-three days since they last met face-to-face and 23 days before the fiscal cliff becomes a harsh reality, the two men sat down Sunday. There was no evidence of a breakthrough, though President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner at least did agree on something: what, and what not, to say. After the talks ended, White House spokesman said "This afternoon, the president and Speaker Boehner met at the White House to discuss efforts to resolve the fiscal cliff (referring to the tax hikes and spending cuts that will take effect in January without a deal). We're not reading out details of the conversation, but the lines of communication remain open."

Just adjacent to the White House Christmas tree, the 30-foot menorah stands high enough to be seen from afar, and its height is regulated under Jewish law.
