Dec 2012

And I do not believe Obama would deliberately touch, no, embrace the third rail, plus gift the GOP with a sure-fire campaign weapon - "Obama wanted to make cuts to Social Security" - if he didn't intend to follow through.
If I am to really believe Obama and Pelosi were just kidding - WTF?
Why believe anything that is said now?

So - I guess the next proposal from Obama will not have the Chained CPI in it, right?
That's the only thing that will convince me, not a bunch of spin.
I think "free to do what he wants in his second term" may mean something different to Obama than it does to me. We'll see.
Besides, since he doesn't need our votes any more, why all the angst about people complaining? We can't threaten to not vote for him any more.
Bad chi'i? Hurt feelings?
Obama got reelected. Now he has proposed something that will hurt others in 2014. And I am considered intransigent?
I am not a freeper, expected to blindly follow no matter what.
