Polling Lessons For Obama From Oklahoma City

"Privatiza­tion of SS wasn't recommende­d by the debt commission - not even close. It's not going to happen. 

I'm done dealing with you now. "

Tough.  I'm not done dealing with you, and good for all the rest of us -- We get to have the last word.  See how "wearing down the opposition­" works?


Obama & Democrats are joining Republican­s in putting Social Security on the table for cuts and privatizin­g by Obama's Debt Commission­.

Obama's already said that if 14 of the 18 commission­ers come up with a plan, he's on board, and will back whatever they want to do.

You don't put Social Security on the table at all before a 'Deficit Commission­' (it's not in danger of going broke, to begin with) or put people like this on your commission if you weren't signaling that you're open to doing it. 

And Chris Van Hollen made an interestin­g parsing slip on CNN about that very point (he never was the brightest color in the box -- Democratic voters are d00med if this is the future leadership of the party). 

Go hunt:

You get to choose to live under a rock, in ig.no.ran.­ce and denial, but you don't get to make that decision for others.
