he's already offered them SS cuts. He has already shown he would rather declare war on SS benefits than on the Republicans. So I just can't trust him anymore after that. I wish I could, but I can't.

And I think articles like this are disingenuous. Anybody who has observed President Obama for the last 4 years knows this will never happen.
