His first two years and his nominations are fair game.

So are things like proclaiming the necessity of cuts to "entitlements, followed by cuts to fuel subsidies for the poor, cuts to SNAP, the Cat Food Commission, putting Social Security and Medicare on the table and the Grand Bargain Committee and putting Social Security and Medicare on the table, and the Grand Bargain Committee. Those bells can never be unrung and no good can come from them.

Thank goodness Occupy managed to change the national conversation to the vastness and the injustice of income inequality.

That said, Obama is not running in November. I don't know what good thing Cenk thinks this diatribe is going to accomplish. He could at least have waited until after midterms. Why was it so urgent now?
