We get nonsense like this from the White House, "The president will work with Congress to get this done and we are hopeful that we will be able to find a bipartisan solution quickly that protects the middle class and our economy."
The President's head is clearly more dense than tank armor. The public does NOT CARE about "bipartisan" anything!!!! We have said it loud and clear, over and over and over again.
What people want are credible solutions. If you pose the solutions in a sensible manner and keep the solutions alive and defended (defending anything isn't really something that Obama has the stomach to do, tho) in the media, then people will gravitate toward them.
The vast majority knows that the rich are richer and paying a lot less in taxes than 10 years ago. Throwing Social Security under the bus to get that isn't bipartisan compromise, it's human sacrifice. Social Security does not contribute to the deficit - it's illegal for that to happen (although the President's insistence on cutting that tax on businesses has begun undercutting the trust fund - I wish I knew what the President has against the elderly and Social Security).
A compromise would be something like, 'if BLS unemployment numbers drop to 4%, then capital gains rates can drop down to 15%'. Sell something like that to the public and draw the battle lines for 2014 elections to win back the house.
