Obama just put SSN and Medicare on the table. I know how I feel about it, he just lost my vote.
Damn! Is this directly related to disability benefits via SS? That is the area of SS benefits that I think there should not be any cuts, period! I think that some of the other changes in retirement like means-testing isn't a bad thing, but to cut disabled people, especially aging disabled people is just wrong.

What the hell else will he cave in on? I think he should call the GOP's bluff and get the revenue end of this via people that make millions. The tax codes are so skewed toward them, it makes me sick. I don't believe that the GOP will allow default- they would be losing a lot in their bid for the presidency next year. This has gotten so rotten- and it will not end until/unless more Dems are elected to Congress. And I believe the GOP hates Obama so much that they would do anything to win in 2012.
