In reply to the discussion: President Obama, Democrats need to disavow the rumored offer. [View all]AldoLeopold

I've looked into your posts in the past and nothing would indicate this sort of hatred for the President.
What's with the hostility?
Because Social Security is on the table?
I suppose I would be pretty scared, too. But we're kind of screwed financially. Whether it be by overspending on the past for whatever reason, constant wars, foreign aid. Lots of things.
Things change, and we all get screwed sometimes.
So, what's with the hostility? I actually want to know what you're pissed about. There's nothing about this man, that I can see, that would indicate that he's simply under the gun in a really bad situation.
