New Meh.
It's good you're taking action. Thanks.

But if Obama were so obsessed with really gutting the things that you seem to think he is, it would have happened already. All he had to do was accept the Ryan budget. Many "centrist" Democrats would have been happy to take that as a starting point and tinker with it to show how "reasonable" they are... :-/

There's a thread over at BoomanTribune that goes into this a bit more. I like this guy's comment - http://www.boomantri...10/181636/892#118 ;-)

Cheers,
Scott.

This is a design pattern. We've seen it before. He preemptively concedes the thing he wants to screw us on, and later insists that he just HAD to do it. He gets a couple "serious" pundits quacking about it, and shortly his apologists are stating that anybody not getting on board are whining or purity freaks. Wash, rinse, repeat. He's not fast, but he gets what he wants. That generally means we get screwed; he's definitely not working for us unless some of us are REALLY rich.

New pulling the plug on shrub tax cuts for the +450k crowd
is a little piece? I suppose you want to pull the plug on all of those who make over 50k a year.
