RT @conncarroll Dear fellow conservatives: Obama won. There will be zero entitlement reform for the next 4 years. Focus on other stuff.



John Podhoretz ‏@jpodhoretz

I understand conservative rage over the deal but, again, this is what happens when you lose elections.

1. If John Podhoretz is unhappy, I'm happy.

2. MItch and the grey man gang think that they'll

capture the runaway Obama in a few weeks (debt ceiling). However, I am starting to think that O and B--oh and Reid played the Rethugs all along. No entitlement reform and no debt ceiling fiasco in March. That sounds like a victory for the Prez and Dems.

5. he means, Obama won the election

the problem is, he did not run on a hard line against entitlement reform. In fact, during the debate with Romney he said the two of them had essentially the same position on Social Security.

6. thing is

. . . the drive to cut entitlements isn't coming from the WH; it's a losing position of the House and Senate republicans.

Any prospect for forcing Democrats into cutting entitlements ended with the hostage taking over the middle-class tax hikes, the unemployment insurance and the rest. What's driving Democrats to make those cuts? Nothing.

In the next two months, Congress will take up their deficit reduction game without the benefit of unemployment insurance, middle-class tax breaks, and the other spending initiatives achieved by Democrats in negotiations to use as leverage in further budget-cutting fights of theirs. The cuts, the debt-limit, other deficit concerns must now be addressed on their own merits. In a lot of ways, that's where this process began. It's basically back to defense spending vs. the rest of the budget.
