Mr. President: Take Social Security and Medicare off the damned table in no uncertain terms.

[ProSense]

56. Face it: It's not going matter what the President says.

ANY thing YOU perceive as critical of the president will be met with your talking points. For the life of me I can't figure out why you want a weak president.

The facts are that he agreed to cuts in SS via the chained CPI last year.

He has told us to keep the pressure up on him so that is what I'm doing.

If he pledges to veto any reduction in SS or Medicare it will satisfy my request. It will also make it easier for congressional Dems to protect the programs.

Why would he mention them? Because the R's are aiming to cut them based on falsehoods (read lies).

No, those aren't the facts. Who agreed with him? There was no agreement.

This is just proof of exactly what I said. You can claim you will be satisfied, but it will not end the constant demand that the President reiterate his position. Hell, he has said often that he has no plans to cut Social Security and Medicare benefits, but everytime he mentions entitlement spending, it becomes an issue all over again.

Fine, but don't pretend that if he says this, it will be the end of the discussion.
