Debt Commission Report Targets Social Security, Medicare

I think that 'briefing' is one of those urban legends, concocted by baffled onlookers who are at a loss to explain the newly elected president's dramatic flip-flops on all campaign promises.

It's easier to believe that Obama is being blackmailed (or as I have quipped, "Has anyone seen Michelle's mother since Inauguration Day?") than to accept that we've been flim-flammed.

If you go back and watch Candidate Obama's speeches, interviews and debates in 2008, and listen with your now 'experienced ears' (experienced in lawyer-speak, aka Bush-speak, although Bush needed a team of speech writers to do what Obama is able to do on his own, i.e., think on his feet), I think you'll see that Obama spoke carefully and precisely to give people the sense of what they wanted to hear to get their vote. It's why even among his most ardent admirers, they still argue about whether he's a liberal or a centrist or a moderate Republican.  He convinced centrists that he was a centrist.  He convinced liberals he was a liberal posing as a centrist.  

Obama's nothing but a politician, and I mean that in the worst sense of the word.  In the 'used car salesman' sense.  It turns out that doing what's right for transnational corporations is what Obama is about, and trying to sell it as good for Americans is what he does afterwards. He's the epitome of the 1950s Republican, "What's good for GM is good for America."

Obama did a snow job on everybody.
