3. I do not see Obama surviving 2012 if he touches SS.

He will automatically lose Florida, Nevada and New Hampshire.

9. That's assuming that elections aren't fixed in the US.

But since they clearly have been and are, there is no reason to fret about Obama's re-election as long as he keeps doing his master's bidding.

[woo me with science]

11. I'm not sure he cares.

He will be taken care of in any event, as he is serving his corporate masters well. Losing may be part of the plan.

I'm still far from convinced he will lose, though. The Powers that Be are busy lining up extremist candidates on the Republican side, and I suspect they may want to use this dynamic of "It-is-so-easy-to-move right-when-there-is-always-someone-further-right" for another four years.

They are certainly accomplishing more with him in office than they could ever have dreamed with a united Democratic opposition. They may want to leave him there for another four years to continue dismantling the social safety net, and then reinstall a Republican once blame has been placed.

14. kick.... I know all I need to know about Max Baucus....

I watched him in action during the Health Care Disaster. What a whore.

He makes Joe Lieberman look like Mother Theresa.

15. It really upsets me that Obama picked this man to be on the super committee.

So we start off with a 13 to 11 in favor of the Rethugs! :grr: That means we have to get two teabagger members to vote in favor of tax hikes.
Not going to happen! This nomination is the worst thing Obama has done so far! :grr: Doesn't he understand his record, voting and opiniona? I've never said anything bad about Obama...but this is just too much! :grr:

[Dragonfli]

16. Did he appoint him? I thought it was Harry Reid. It wouldn't surprise me tho

They needed that thirteenth Republican vote to cyt SS Medicare and Medicaid.

I assume I will continue to hear the BS propaganda that this deal takes those cuts off the table, then after it is what they come up with we will hear how nothing could be done because teabaggerss are the most powerful people in the world and Obama was just lucky enough to get out of it alive, being so powerless and all and having had nothing to do with this deal to use a committee to make the cuts he wanted.
