Obama is offering cuts to social security contrary to his campaign's and Biden's promise that Soc Sec "will flat out" not be on the table.
He's waffled around about the unimaginably cruel raising the medicare age. Now he's conceding the Bush tax cuts up to 400,000 after we voted for him based on 250,000. And he's talking about capping deductions at 26% of people's income, which would brutally decrease middle class parent/homeowners deductions, instead of giving everybody a flat ex 50,000 deduction.

This is not a Democrat bargaining with Boehner. We do not have anyone representing us. Obama has alreeady negotiated away the Democratic position with himself (and WAll Strrets Corporatists and Geithner) Somehow he's decided that he's reprenting them not us now. No one is protecting the middle class. Or representing the Democratic platform we just voted for.
Can we please have Obama replaced by Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren or Russ Feingold or Sherrod Brown?
