It seems the latest successor to Franklin Roosevelt is unworthy of his heritage. Barack Obama has either proven his abject opportunism, or his fathomless, superior political savvy through an "offer" to cut social service support by $112 billion over several years. If his intention was to force the far-right Republican Party to reject his offer, then claim Republican intransigence he is to be congratulated for not only savvy but omniscience.
If, however, he is part of a thoroughly corrupt political process, one in which a John Boehner can be virtually dictating terms to the President of the United States, we are all in more trouble than we can account for.
I have started my own petition through MoveOn opposing any cuts to Social Security. At last count there were well over 200 signers. I urge you, dear reader, to find such a petition and sign it. Like all other proposals to cut or weaken Social Security we can kill this reeking effort. But we need everyone sticking together on this one.
