Reply #100: The deal with Obama - he just wants the path of least resistance [View All]

He sees his job as a conciliator, he doesn't really stand for anything. We were talking about spending on jobs programs until the repugs pushed back and he did a complete 180 and now we are talking about cutting social programs. He gets more heat from the right so that is the direction we are heading.

By being weak and having no moral compass he has caused a shitstorm in Washington with every little worm rubbing their hands together to get theirs. I think if the easiest path for him right now was to gut SS and Medicare, he would do it in a minute.

At one of his last news conferences he joked about turning 50 and wanting to shore up Medicare, he was smiling from ear to ear because the joke is, he will never have to use that sucky program. I was wondering if that would have been funny if his audience was a bunch of lower income seniors.
