But the President himself says that we are the ones who have to bring change. And just as the President said that we deserve the truth from Romney--I think we deserve the truth from him. Define what you mean by "tweak.? Just because the President doesn't want to reveal his hand going into a "grand bargain"---doesn't mean that the "tweakees" do not deserve to know how they will be "tweaked."

The President needs to be more specific NOW and REITERATE where he stands--as Bernie Sanders has asked. I know what he said in 2008...and I know I want to trust him. But especially after that strange comment in the debate "about Romney being in "agreement" with him on Social Security--we deserve some answers.

Joe Biden said there will be "no changes in benefits"...I want to hear it from Barack himself!
