In reply to the discussion: So... Many Here Have Been Accused Of "Hating" President Obama... So Lets Poll This Out... [View all]Cooley Hurd
(26,877 posts)11. Should the budget be passed, I will be pissed!
Until then, well... I guess I will wait to see how this plays out. I've witnessed politics for well over 40 years now and there's one thing I can honestly say... SURPRISES are the rule, not the exception. And, yes, I've thrown many babies out with gallons of bathwater, only to be in awe of the politics of it all.
Am I in favor of chained CPI? I know people personally who will be significantly affected by this, so no. HELL no!
But, this President is different. Different than Carter or Clinton. He's earned the benefit of the doubt for the short term.
However, if this budget passes and he SIGNS it, I'll be at the gates of the Bastille with the rest of you.

I don't hate him but am not too terribly dissapointed. It's close to what I expected.
