Bi-Partisanship We Don't Need: The President Offers to Cut Social Security and Republicans Agree

"The Constituion took form with "compromise"..."



We're not re-writing the Constitution. We're trying to IMPROVE the nation. You do NOT improve things by making them worse. I simply can't understand how people can love this man of meager accomplishment so much as to buy into the "we have to destroy the village in order to save it" logic that he's bringing to the public. When dubya used that logic, everyone howled. When Obama uses it, 'well, sacrifices have to be made; it's only fair...'

And you realize it was Obama who created the simpson-bowles catfood commission, full-well knowing that the 'bipartisan' duo was going to attack Social Security - a program with zero impact on the federal budget, right?



How many kicks to the head does one need to see what's going on here?
