Damnit!"
Think about the political dynamics coming into '14.
What are the dominant themes so far?
Immigration? GOP lose.
Equality? GOP lose
Guns? GOP lose
Now, thanks to Obama including CCPI in his budget, we're talking the future of SS as well.
Do you think the GOP WANTS to be having that discussion? At all? EVER? Really?
If you're GOP rep "Loony Baloony" in "Bumfuck Wherever", what exactly will be your platform? Will you be running on saving SS? Or will you be running on cutting it? Would you ever even have considered DISCUSSING it at all if Obama hadn't started the conversation?
And remember, THIS is what it boils down to in '14. The LOCAL elections.
Obama ain't runnin' for nuthin'.
Just imagine, the GOP GULPS down Obama's bait, backs "his" SS cuts going into '14 (how could they possibly NOT do this? It's their opportunity to DESTROY HIM!), and Obama, who ain't runnin' for nuthin' no mo', decides to have one of his ol'"evolushuns" on something, because his dawsh gone ol' base told him they weren't have nun of it....
Just imagine...
