"It is very difficult to believe Obama on the debt ceiling" - FDL

3. OK, Here's the record so far.

1. We have a national health care plan that will allow everyone to get health insurance. It's not free, it's not single payer but Obama passed it without one Republican vote.

2. We have had no cuts to Medicare even though the Republicans have been demanding Medicare be cut since the day it was enacted.

3. We have had no cuts to Social Security benefits even though the Republicans have been demanding SS cuts since the day it was enacted.

4. The Democrats have assured that the taxes of 98% of Americans have not gone back to 2000 levels and thus essentially got a back door stimulus while cutting 600 Billion from deficit.

5. Complain all you want about the 2011 deal, but spending on Military and every program EXCEPT medicare and Social Security is set to be cut automatically unless congress can get it together to pass something that does otherwise.

Who else do you want to have negotiating on your side?
