« The Cloaking Device that Defeats Daredevil | Main | Social Security needs to be expanded, not cut » Maybe positioning the country as "struggling to get by" is just dumbWhen you're a second term president you don't have to worry about re-election, so you're kinda freed up to do the things that you want, or that you think are the right thing to do. So of course Obama is proposing Social Security cuts and "leaning towards" approving the Keystone pipeline. ...he acknowledged that it is difficult to sell aggressive environmental action to Americans who are still struggling in a difficult economy to pay bills, buy gas and save for retirement. Maybe explaining that the pipeline won't really add new jobs or lower energy prices would help, but i guess that's "difficult". Maybe aggressively pushing policies that would actually create jobs would be even better, but that's really crazy talk. By fnord12 | April 5, 2013, 9:31 AM | Liberal Outrage |
