@A31Chris

Can you give some facts or are you just talking out of your ass? You're like retarded or something.

[nickintp]

We should outlaw Money and funding in politics.

@A31Chris I will agree that Obama has been disappointing. I coined the term "Same change, different day".

Nevertheless I will not associate his name with SS reform until I see it.

It is a very potent Repub tactic to blame Dems for Repub failures. IE: dems are big gov't although they created Dep't of Homeland Security & TSA. Dems are tax & spend while they are spend & deficit; someone has to be responsible & pay their debt. They say Bush deficit is Obama's forgetting TARP was before election

@A31Chris There are a lot of morons and liars on this end of the internet You made the top 10 Obama did not lie. and can not operate like a dictator so when the Republicans block hundreds of peices of legislation designed to fix the Republican Recession you can hardly blame him for it. You right wingers put party before country and it is time you change that. Begin by telling the truth yourself.

@A31Chris Please tell me where Obama just outright lied. I do not see it

[A31Chris]

@xilefismynameasshat Yeah well in the context of when and relating to what he was replying to it definitely indicated favoring the Republicans. As he has always done. Since he has been in office.

This President has done more damage to this country by lying to his base and those who voted for him than the Repubs could of ever hoped for. Last November tons of his base didnt even bother going to vote because he broke their hearts with his lies.

[xilefismynameasshat]

@A31Chris "Hard decisions" does not indicate favoring the Repubs. It is also a hard decision to not cut spending or raise taxes or raid the SS fund and allow the deficit to continue to grow.

If Obama were to allow the retirement age to be raised it wouldn't happen until his second term when he's a lame duck, unless he has no plans to be re-elected.

Just like the war in Afghanistan won't end until he's re-elected because it creates too many jobs.

@xilefismynameasshat When Pelosi shot down the Republicans attempt to chop into SS while Obama was in India he then made a hasty announcement of the effect 'lets not be hasty. i'm ready to come back and make some hard decisions' indicating he is in favor of the Repubs plans to butcher SS.

I have always thought of Thom as a reasonable man. I am perplexed at why Thom would buy into the "rumors have not been denied" BS.

So why would Thom buy into this plot to associate Obama's name with the Republican plan to cut SS?

The Republicans stated in no uncertain terms that raising the retirement age is a good thing. Obama did not say this.

The Dems are on record saying just the opposite. Why does not speaking to an absurd rumor once again have any traction with Thom?
