President Obama on 60 Minutes
It is obvious that Obama is looking into cutting Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security with his Debt Reduction Commission. Obama is an obvious people pleaser allowing those whom abuse him off the hook so easily. He allows Mitch McConnell and John Boehner and the GOP off the hook like a battered wife allows her abuser to come back and back for more and more abuse. The tax code could not be any better for the wealthy and corporations in this country. The GOP just want to cut the social programs and it seems that Obama is willing to accomodate these right wing extremists. I have not seen where tax cuts have ever translated into creating jobs. Show me the evidence that these tax cuts have equalled more jobs. Yes, tax cuts go hand in hand with the outsourcing of jobs.

The old ways do not work any longer and yet with all these present economic problems, both political parties just want to return to the old failed policies. Returning to these failed policies will send America into a decline so hard economically that it would take 100 years to recover. The platitudes and even smaller government will not work at this point. The Government has been downsized so much over the years that the last things to cut are Medicare and Social Security.

Yet, Obama keeps praising these right wing extremists.

The Powers to Be Don't Want "Change"

I see lots and lots of cuts which will really hurt the poor, elderly, and the disabled.

1. Lame flame bait.
Sorry. Not even a "nice try."

Sure, he asserted that the Repubs need to offer up a way to pay for their tax cuts for the super-wealthy if they want to support them. But all your "obvious" stuff is nonsense.
