Chalk up another first for President Obama. It's looking more and more like he's done what no Republican could do all these years: put Social Security and Medicare on the cutting table. Yes We Can!
The irony is almost beyond comprehension. Get a half-African American from Chicago to ride in on a typically American feel-good wack-off-a-thon of hope, change, and racial equality, only to take out the knives on the very things that were once sacrosanct Democratic pillars.
No Republican could ever do what Obama is doing now.
And as far as next year's elections - who are you going to vote for? The Republican/Democratic duopoly is so firmly entrenched, 3rd party candidates aren't even allowed in the "debates."
You'll vote for Obama again next year. What else are we going to do?
