Reply #15: I am not sure that what he said was good [View All]

I read a story from the media, which said some good things, but then it included some troublesome lines like "Obama used a lot of ideas from the Catfood commission". Well, as I remember it, there were not very many good ideas that came out of that commission. I would say that commission was just barely better than the Ryan plan. Then it also said that 3/4 of the deficit reduction comes from spending cuts. And without details, that seems kinda troubling.

Third, about tax increases, which Obama spoke in favor of. Well, Boehner is already promising to fight that. Since Obama surrendered back in December when he had the upper hand, how can he win this fight now when Boehner has the upper hand? Further, since he was too chickenshit to fight in December, what is supposed to make me think he is gonna fight like hell now? Obama already undermined his argument by agreeing to the surrender in December, and he has already shown that he has a glass jaw, so my money is on Boehner for the thrilla in Manila.
