I wish the President would just stay on vacation until January 1st...

6. Agreed, bkz Obama with Geithner as his wingman are hardly the Dems A team

More like the A team for The Third Way ...Pete Peterson (who is a Republican Billionaire), the Fix the Debt Austerity Safety Net Slashers, et Alios...Obama and Geithner are not representing the Democrats and I am completely puzzled. based on their proposals, who they think they are representing. Certainly not the people who reelected Obama or voted for Democratic candidates to protect
our safety net and raise taxes of all kinds on the top 2%. This chained Cpi scam of cheating soc sec beneficiaries out of 10% of their benefits is so sadistically cruel, so anathema to Democratic ticket principles that it will be destructive to our party for years to come.

I'm actually surprised no on has proposed organizing a class action lawsuit against Obama, Geithner and all Senators and Congressmen who vote for that Chained CPI rigged cost of living if it passes, charging the whole lot off them with Elder Abuse and Theft as well as Breach of Caretaker Trust and Fraud.

Yes,best to keep Obama and Geither out of this. Wall Street and the billionaires already are well represented by the Republicans at the table. Either send in some real Dems who are not Third Wayers...maybe Boxer and Milkulski, since they are the only two Old Timers who did not knee jerk vote for Repeal of Glass Steagall...and Sherrod Brown and Al Franken who have some good "Populist" cred. Of course Bernie Sanders would be choice #1. Or go over the fiscal "speed bump" wait for Liz Warren and a new, less Tea Party House and maybe filibuster lightened Senate and a President finally aware that it is his Presidential duty to protect the faith and credit of the Country through invoking the 14th amendment.
