Obama Will Compromise And Offer To Raise Medicare Age To Save "Bonehead" And GOP [View all]

After all we have to be fair an bipartisan you know. I have lost faith in what Obama is doing. By offering anything on Social Security he has opened up a can of worms. If he is prepared to go that far he might be prepared to give the GOP 98% of what they want like they did last time to get a deal.

Somehow making a deal is more important than doing the right thing.
