Questions:
If President Obama kicked Reid and Democrats out of the process and when straight to dealing with McConnell, why didn't he gut Social Security and Medicare?

Isn't that what he wanted?

Outline of the deal.

1. The evidence indicates that will be saved for later.

There is no assurance that the SuperCongress Committee will not cut these programs later, is there? :shrug:

2. As there is no evidence
it will.

I am worried and frustrated too, by the way.

3. I do believe entitlement cuts are in Obama's long term plans.

4. Obama never kicked Reid and the Dems in Congress out of the process
Where did you get this from?

6. McConnell kicked them out in this last phase & apparently Obama
didn't resist. This disturbs me.

I saw a clip on CNN late last nite I'd never seen before: McConnell saying if he brought the Prez around, the Dems would fall in line.

5. He will veto any bill unless it includes gutting SS and keeping tax cuts to wealthy.
Yup, DU has shown me the depth of his evilness.
