1. He better not sign one that even mentions SS/Medicare/Medicaid either.

They're paid for. You don't steal from people like that. You just don't.

3. Hide your kids. Hide your wife.

Hide your sacred cows.

4. No cuts in SS and Medicare until

the crooks stop giving the most profitable corporation in the history of the world, US working people's money. I'm talking about the hundreds of billions to war profiteers, and $ 40 some billion each year to oil companies.

There is no such thing as a free market, when the government gives trillions of dollars to fraudulent bankers, insurance companies and wild speculators.

5. Wonderful comment, I rec people to read it! Sad thing is, he clearly does mention

"each party's sacred cows" needing to be taken on - and frankly, that is obviously The People's programs! If he cuts them in any form, he's going to lose enough support I am certain, to bring in even worse politicians in the next election, because people will feel like they're voting for a Republican anyhow, so they'll seek change - and if both candidates they're looking at in a race are saying or doing the same things with their actions, then people won't vote for either.

This is a lose lose situation. We lose if he does what he clearly implies he believes needs done, and we lose in 2012 for doing it. This is not good.

Everyone needs to write whitehouse.gov/contact and tell him don't touch Social Security, more than anything.

Again, good comment, not another dime to those fraudsters! If you remove all of that gift money to the banksters, oil criminals, and war profiteers, sure, we'll talk a few percentage off payments.
