Nicholas Kamm/AFP/GettyImages
President Barack Obama speaks on the economy in the East Room of the White House on November 9, 2012.
Late Tuesday evening the House passed a deal to prevent automatic federal spending cuts and tax increases, avoiding the infamous "fiscal cliff." We'll look at what was in the deal and how it may set up future political battles over how America spends its money. And, we'll get insights on what the deal teaches us about about the art of negotiation.
