It appears the twit has used this line a few times….
Most recently last week….me thinks it’s his politically correct way (if ya can call it that) of saying “it’s my way or the highway”….I think the twit already has his plan for SS and when the repugs in congress fashion theirs, it will be taken to Cheney’s cellar and altered to fit the desired….

And Bush has made a few comments that suggest deal-making is what he ultimately has in mind. After a meeting with congressional leaders several weeks ago, a reporter asked whether he'd be willing to give ground on tax cuts. "I'm certainly not willing to negotiate with myself," Bush replied. He's right that it makes no tactical sense to concede anything unilaterally or sooner than he has to.
