Obama budget plan reveals vastly diminished ambitions

[Swede]

The Obama of 2011, as demonstrated by Monday's budget rollout, seems resigned to operating in a far more constrained fashion as he plunges into policy combat for the first time with the GOP's House majority.

In declining to embrace the most difficult ideas proposed by his bipartisan deficit commission, such as cutting Social Security benefits, eliminating a home mortgage tax deduction or making structural changes to the tax code, the president deferred tough decisions that many in both parties say are necessary to fix the country's fiscal problems.

That apparent tentativeness suggests the man who once said he would rather be a good one-term president than a mediocre two-termer is, in fact, very interested in winning that second term.

1. That entire article is complete BS and has asshole written all over it.

Basically it's a weak article with a weak argument because it wants to be critical of the President. And that is basically the ultimate meme. Be critical no matter what even if the critiques make no sense and are weak. Ugh...
