So you honestly think that Obama and the Democrats don't have political capital now? MadHound Nov 2012 #26

Not everything, that GG utters, is fact: GG spews propaganda, with a definite objective. struggle4progress Nov 2012 #60
But the fact of the matter is that SS changes are on the bargaining table, MadHound Nov 2012 #63
