As much as I like Obama, there's nothing I can say to defend him.

10. He also owes the American people an explanation of why he is perpetuating the Republican lie

that SS in any way contributed to the deficit.

IT DID NOT. SS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DEFICIT. That is a Republican LIE.

Why is he doing this??

As of today we have TWO Republicans now positioning themselves as the protectors of SS!! He has handed them, like a GIFT, the way to defeat Democrats in 2014,

IF Democrats in Congress do not separate themselves from this betrayal, we can look forward to another 2010.

As for Axelrod, the man is a Third Way, iow a Republican pretending to be a Democrat, imposter, always was. I believe it was he who referred to the people who worked so hard to get Democrats elected as 'The Professional Left'. I totally despise that man and wondered what Obama was thinking when he chose him as part of his 'team'. More and more I don't wonder anymore.

Time to move on, we were duped and we have no more time to waste on these people. We have the elderly, the poor, dependent children, the disabled to protect and we better get organized and stop waiting and hoping for something that never was going to happen. Better to accept the fact that we were used, and start the process of trying to make up for lost time.
