During a recent stop at a toy factory in Pennsylvania, President Obama injected a bit of holiday cheer into the negotiations over avoiding the fiscal cliff. He likened Congress’ threats to send America over the cliff to Scrooge sending Bob Cratchet home without a Christmas goose for Tiny Tim.Actor Brian Cox says today’s conversations surrounding debt and fiscal policy help him get into character for his portrayal of the Dickensian Scrooge. Cox will be playing Ebenezer Scrooge in The Greene Space’s ‘A Christmas Carol: A Radio Drama’ tonight.
