Obama out running around campaigning instead of going to Camp David and inviting Boner and the Turtle to work something out...
And he just claimed that Social Security and Medicare needs to be cut and it is only relevant to Obama's side.
They just don't stop with the bullshit.

(269,182 posts)At least he did admit that ReTHUGs have used the filibuster to block Obama's policies.
Democrats won't give on entitlements...Republicans feel strongly that they've given enough on taxes. Ann Rmoney took the loss really bad because they were sure they were going to win.
These beltway hacks really piss me off - yes it's on the Cycle but I turned on and saw him and decided to watch.
What were taxes in most of Brokaw's life - dishonest scumbag.

(31,706 posts)President Obama HASN'T raised taxes...he made permanent a tax cut for 80% of American taxpayers. Payroll taxes DIDN'T rise due to a tax hike...it was the restoration of withhold that the person will receive back later and keeps the Social Security system solvent. Government spending ISN'T going up...it's at the lowest levels its been at for over a decade and going down...many of the job losses in recent years are in the public sector.
Yet...sockpuppets like Slackjaw and other beltway bleaters spew the talking points and its assumed to be "fact". Tommyboy long sold out...pretends to be the new Cronkite...but he could carry Uncle Walter's jockstrap.

(132 posts)Between Brokejaw and c cupp and then pseudo intellectual Toure' asking that dumb ass question, I couldn't take it anymore. I did agree with Brokjay on one thing and that is No one cares about his lame advice to the President. This show is a joke..

This repuke talking point that Obama is "campaigning" is their whine because Obama is making some progress "taking it to the people." Repukes can't stand that so they have to tear him down.
They know they are gonna lose...

Brokaw loses a few more points in my book
with this one. He never had that many to
begin with anyhow.

(966 posts)In fact, he took a liberal position on the issue of the Voting Rights Act when he was on Meet the Press, advocating that we should be making it easier for people to vote and moving election day to a weekend.
