Obama to GOP: 'Take me out of it'

6. You're suggesting that it's a bluff

You're doing so, however, without any factual evidence to support that suggestion. The very fact that the President is putting social security on the table is very troubling. Considering the amount of money that would be lost by Seniors... from a program they've been paying into their whole lives...

Also, consider what the Republicans will demand if that is not enough. Will the President offer more concessions? The administration had some tough talk earlier about being ready and willing to go over the cliff, but it seems like they're trying really hard right now to negotiate a deal - even if it means cutting social security. To me, that is completely unacceptable - the program is fine and will be fine for many years to come if we just leave it the hell alone.

Call me a naysayer dem if you want to, but this whole thing stinks. I like President Obama a great deal, I have since I first read The Audacity of Hope, it was what inspired me to vote for him and to help get out the vote for him in 2008. This though, is still unacceptable. What was Al Sharpton correct about? I must have missed something...
