(6,234 posts)Bohner or Limbaugh proposing increasing taxes on millionaires because we just cannot afford to keep them as they are?
When was the last time you heard the NRA proposing we eliminate guns?
When was the last time you heard an American Evangelical arguing that we need to keep Jesus out of our schools?
But here we have Obama offering to slash social security. He OFFERED it. You think it's now off the table? It will never be off the table now. From now until the end of time the GOP is going to be saying that even the "radical leftist" Obama thinks social security needs to be cut.
It's amazing that our President, the guy were just barely finished busting our asses to get elected, the guy who campaigned on the promise to protect these programs, couldn't even wait until freaking Christmas before stabbing his supporters in the back. And I really don't want to hear a bunch of nonsense about how none of us are smart enough to understand the hyper-dimentional chess that the master negotiator is doing. Obama makes crying Bohner look like the man of freaking steel.
