The bitterness over the rich and their tax cuts

[John2]

19. President Obama

said that he would not extend the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy to the whole country and he won the Election. It is that simple and he has a chance to immediately do that one way or the other. And for those that claimed he never promised to not cut Social Security or Medicare, I'll provide the source.

On October the 12, 2012, President Obama gave an interview to the AARP on Social Security and Medicare and not only that produced a booklet on Protecting Retirement Security. For Medicare, he advocated reforming the system by bringing the costs down much like he did for Obama care. He emphasized preventive care coverage and discounts on prescription drugs. He said that he would maintain the structure of both programs unlike what some people are advocating he did not say. President Obama has a mandate period to carry through on what he pandered votes for in the Election. To say he doesn't otherwise, is telling him to disrespect the electorate that gave him their votes after the election.

The people trying to persuade him that he doesn't, also have started to throw around language like Lefties, in order to give President Obama an excuse to not carry out his campaign pledges. Many of them are pundits, wealthy, and those who have conflicts of Interests. I take it personal when these people call me some radical fringe. Well put a face on your radical left. If they are African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, working class or women, then I guess that is who you are referring to because I fit within that group. So throw out the label and quit trying to weasel around it? At least Mr Romney was up front with it. A weasel is worse than an honest liar. President Obama told none of those groups that he was campaigning to bargain with Republicans or cut programs such as Social Security or Medicare. If he did, we just as well have voted for Mr Romney. So I have a p[problem with people like Mr Plouffe. He does not fit the majority of the voters who gave President Obama their votes.
