"CHICAGO (AP) — A liberal group upset over potential cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security delivered pledges Friday to President Barack Obama's national campaign headquarters threatening to pull its support.

About a dozen people representing the Progressive Change Campaign Committee delivered what they said were 200,000 pledges from people who will refuse to donate or volunteer for Obama's re-election campaign if he cuts the entitlement programs."

What Obama is doing is just what I predicted on another thread. He lets the mad dog Republicans snort and howl about getting rid of Social Security and Medicare. Then, he throws those two items on the table for negotiations.

This scares the hell out of Republicans because they suddenly realize that they are about to get what they asked for, and they will go down with Obama unless they give up and allow tax increases for their wealthy patrons.

6. Yep. The Supreme Court composition....

...is reason enough to make me vote for Obama next year (and Democratic in every election). The last thing we need is having Justices Ginsburg and Breyer replaced with another Clarence Thomas and another Samuel Alito.

7. What a racket. Big on rhetoric, unable to really put its money where its "mouth" is.

Adam Green cleaned up more nicely than the politicians they "support".
