Drama in Washington as fiscal cliff looms
Dec 30th 2012, 18:08

Leaders in deeply polarized Washington groped Sunday for a stop-gap deal to avert a fiscal calamity due to strike within hours and could shock markets and spark global economic turmoil.

But even as major players raced the ebbing 2012 calendar to reach a pact to avoid the "fiscal cliff," but would fall short of a hoped-for long-term deficit cutting deal, a fierce game of political blame shifting was underway.

Democratic President Barack Obama, eyeing a short-term political victory, accused Republicans of causing the mess, saying they had refused to move on what he said were genuine offers of compromise from Democrats.
