Mr. President it is time that you grew a pair of b@lls. the republican party has bullied you into several bad decisions in the past. Now they want to make changes to SS medicare what is next? We the people are getting tired of being the whipping boy around this country. it is time you stood up and told these a$$holes "NO you pay the taxes that you are suposed to, we are NOT cutting SS or MEDICARE we are done. if you republicans want to make this country default just know that the masses will not elect your party to the office of dog catcher let alone any office of importance.

might i suggest that pelosi and the caucas just say no. force Obama to court them for a change. Force a 14th amendment solution, and stop being nice.

Yes, "fight fire with fire!" Actually, no, don't. This endless hardlined stance between liberals and conservatives is incredulous. Im ashamed when I hear either speak. Newsflash people, this country is a democracy which is run by two parties. These empty threats of not supporting your own candidate is plain stupidity. Why? Because you won't do it. Are you really going to let a Republican candidate win because the President has conceded a point to gain another? This type of speak makes me feel more certain of my stance that die hard partisans are generally the least intelligent in an electorate.
