It appears that Obama may be about to make a deal to get the Republicans to do what their banker masters would force them to do anyway. Apparently, the deal will include Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid cuts. Thus will he throw away the best issues the Democrats have for 2012. Since even the people of this country are unlikely to elect any of the clowns vying to oppose him (though you never know), it will be the Democratic members of the House and Senate that walk the plank to vote for this deal (which Obama will no doubt announce as a triumph of bipartisanship) that will pay. To add further insult to both insult and injury, there are a fair number of Republicans who will refuse to vote to increase the debt ceiling. They will then, more than likely, along with some who do vote for the deal, accuse Democrats of cutting Social Security and Medicare. Like the last time, they’ll get away with it.
I suppose being even a totally ineffective President has its perks, but you have to wonder why Obama would want to practically guarantee that he’ll be dealing with Republican majorities for his entire second term. Won’t it be fun to see him nominate a right winger to the Supreme Court in a reasonable act of compromise with the new Republican majority?
Meanwhile, the poor Democrats responsible for trying to get Democrats elected continue to flog the Medicare issue, along with Paul Ryan, little realizing that the issue will soon blow up in their faces.
