Just my observation.

He has not weakened his hand and SS is still safe.

You can't guarantee anything except the fact that you will continue to bash Obama. MjolnirTime Dec 2012 #6
You wanna give me odds on that one? leveymg Dec 2012 #12
Why the 2:1 odds if you're so sure alcibiades_mystery Dec 2012 #17
I didn't think anyone would take me up on it. I was right. Even if I gave odds. leveymg Dec 2012 #18
The odds are 1:1 that you will continue to bash. What kind of bet is that? MjolnirTime Dec 2012 #19
I don't need to bash. If Obama wants to spit on the third rail and make it spark as a party trick, leveymg Dec 2012 #21

Good links, Cha! Hekate Dec 2012 #58
