...would even be an issue. There are no words to describe how I (and many others) would feel of the President caves on this issue. These safety nets are the hallmark of our party and define us.

There is no compromise when it comes to the programs that put the people ahead of the filthy rich.

If he intended to stand his ground, he could easily tell us so right now.
