is an acceptable source for WH info, but the stammering Jay Carney is not?
Hmm for somebody who claims to be a source-snob, you seem to drop the bar when the info is more pleasing you your argument.

11. Just saying, this single quote |
|
from a Mass. representative should not be taken as a representation of the admin.'s position, while Jay Carney's non-denial, and discussion between the terms "slash and cut" tend to make me question this a little further.
Lets allow Obama make a statement, or at least release one...
Or we could just jump on the first piece on info that proves our side...
...as a certain somebody was doing earlier.
And for the record, when it comes to the President, I barely believe what HE says, let alone what Barney Frank says. And no, I am not a right winger.
Peace Brother.

6. That's what happens when people raise Hell |
|
about getting screwed. I'm sure that had some effect - all the calls and emails to President and reps....it HELPS. Not that the media doesn't misinform - it does. BUT politicians also use the media (esp the Tealiban / Repubs but Dems as well), to find out what they can and cannot get away with - what's going to get by the watchful eye of affected Americans and what is not.

5. No inflation over two years = no COLA over two years |
|
I don't see why people are so angry about a formula.

I had no doubt that what was released was simply a trial balloon or something of that nature. We'll see what the final results are, but I've yet to see anything about cuts to benefits actually happening.
