Why are you letting Republicans cut all your important social programs while siphoning billions towards oil companies and trillions towards the upper few percent?

I'm not asking this to Obama, I'm asking this to YOU, the American person reading this comment.

get ready folks. The Catfood Commission Plan means just that. the next time you see grandma in the grocery store buying catfood it won't be because she has cats.

The last thing Obama should have touched was Social Security that was made by President Roosevelt & stated in our constitution for relief income for our elderly & disabled. Who the hell is he to threaten such a program when it helps all of us? I'll vote against him in the next election & hope others will do the same. He is a ass backward Robin Hood that takes from the poor & gives to the rich like himself!

No one should be getting tax breaks!We the tax payers already paid into social Security, for our Medicare. Cut your welfare some of these people have been living off this easy income for years.I can't stand what these politicians are doing to our country & our lives.so if Social Security stops paying out we don't have to pay Social Security anymore?I am tired of paying & re-paying for your debts you guys make that does not help anyone.

America needs to spend time on their knees praying to God to fix this economic crisis. The bible says: 2 Chronicles 7:14 if my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Cenk Uygur is a douche!

Go ahead. Take away our social security, health care, whatever. We've needed a new civil war for a long time. But wait! There's a difference! This time it will be the rich versus the poor, and guess what? We have more guns, more people, and more experience killing people than you. Fix your shit, or we the people will liberate ourselves.

@dman I think Obama will be voted out of office ( but I'm NOT holding my breath for that to happen ). I doubt things will get any better anytime soon, if ever at all again. This country is in sad,sad,shape. I wanted to see Ron Paul get voted in, but all elections are rigged, I believe. I think it was already pre-decided who would be our next president. It had to be. If the people really had a voice? Obama would of never been elected president. they just want us to think we have a voice we don't

[dmana3172]

@IlluminatReptilian Not all of them. There are many of them that buy into Obama's idea. I believe that we should stand up and fight against his plan to ruin Social Security. We have only one year away from voting him out of office. That would be great, would it? :-)
