So Obama finally saw the polls about raising taxes ...
and he feels it is important for Republicans to listen to the American people....but no mention of the polls about cuts/changes in Social Security and Medicare that HE should be listening to. I actually hope he doesn't know about them. It's the only thing that allows me to have any hope in what he may be planning to do. So could someone PLEASE smuggle the poll results about into the White House?

1. Although I hear you, please do not jump the gun and read into the President's words something

he did not say in reference to average Americans.

He clearly explained that he is opposed to cuts that will hurt people.

4. Will means testing touch you?
Most of us don't make enough for the means testing to mean shit to us, so why are you acting as though he's talking about cutting our Medicare and SS?

5. Uhh yes it will. Not enough wealthy folks so means testing would dip down to workers $40k range
hardly wealthy in my book.
