Ever notice that everything President Obama does [View All]

[ProSense]

is the worst thing ever or that he plans to do something horrible in the future?

Robert Kuttner via Politico:

<...>

The second part, now being teed up by the White House and key Senate Democrats, is a scheme for the president to embrace much of the Bowles-Simpson plan — including cuts in Social Security. This is to be unveiled, according to well-placed sources, in the president’s State of the Union address.

Kuttner via HuffPo:

<...>

Obama, according to well-placed sources, plans to introduce a "tax-simplification" scheme in the State of the Union address -- get rid of tax preferences and lower tax rates, as proposed by the Bowles-Simpson commission, with no net stimulative effect. This is a classic case of trying to change the subject. This might or might not be sensible policy depending on the specifics. But what ails the economy has little to do with the particulars of the tax code.

Evidently, Kuttner's "well-placed sources" can't make up their minds: Is it cut Social Security or "tax-simplification" with "no net stimulative effect"?

What the hell does that mean? LOL!


Anyway, back to the question: Ever notice that everything President Obama does is the worst thing ever or that he plans to do something horrible in the future?
