Obama is going to cut deals with the GOP a senate

[blueinindiana]

Obama is going to side or cave on a whole host of GOP initiatives. Obama's last two years in office are going to be at waste at best or GOP feeding frenzy at worst.

1. Sharkfest

2. Give him some credit

He can (and will) veto all the egregious stuff. They can't override.

4. Absolutely. The ACA is here to stay.

[Kelvin Mace]

6. Yes, but Social Security is now in play

And they will impeach him anyway.

[bklyncowgirl]

7. Let them try.

Ask Bill Clinton how that worked out.

8. Wow ...

When we get depressed/disappointed, there is no middle ground ... We go straight to the absurd.

I know it's popular to put the word "cave" next to President Obama; but, tell me ... when has he "caved" to republicans? And, what did we get in exchange?

[Paulie]

12. He offered the Chaned CPI with Social Security first

The pigs didn't ask and he put it on the table. And he got nothing.

[1StrongBlackMan]

17. B.S. ... Republicans have been talking cuts to SS, forever ...

so he didn't offer anything first. He offered them what they had said they wanted, knowing that they couldn't take it.

And he got nothing

B.S., we got the debt ceiling raised and the budget WITHOUT giving them the CPPI.

[EEO]

9. Yes he will. He is an appeaser.

Prepare for cuts to social programs.

[RBInMaine]

20. Nonsense.

[MaggieD]

10. I doubt that

Hope you're wrong.

[FrenchieCat]

11. Yeah....Obama has been the big black boogie man.....

here on DU since 2008....

I laugh at those who are upset that Democratic senatorial candidates "ran" away from Obama....
since they were only following the example set by DU forever! LOL!

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

16. Exactly why Dems lost tonight! This is exactly why! We don't need this shit!

Trashing thread and putting OP on IGNORE!!

13. UNREC

The only thing worse than venting is lazy venting.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

14. Put a fucking sock in it, will you? You can't wait a damn day to start this shit?

[Blaukraut]

15. No, he won't n/t

[AlinPA]

18. Caving on eliminating food stamps? Eliminating SS and Medicare? Progress on gay rights? Eliminating

the EPA, Department of Education? Eliminating free lunches for poor children in schools? Eliminating the Civil Rights Act and 1965 Voting Rights Act? While those are GOP priorities, and will be their first bills they pass, I doubt he will "cave" on these.

[RBInMaine]

19. Irrational folly. Chill down.

[ellie]

22. This is assuming that the repukes

will actually govern, which they won't. They'll be too busy eating each other.
