The G-20 Ben Bernanke Handholding Ceremony

is now behind us.  The markets can go back to reality.  Back to Washington where neither side has the guts to do a big deal.  Obama is the only one who could.  He does not have to face the voters again and could make tough proposals for both expenditure cuts and revenue enhancement.  Yet for some reason he is way to timid on both sides of the equation.
