Obama Debt Speech: Tax Increases, Medicare Changes Included In President's Plan

Given what you've seen over the past two years, you recognize that change comes in increments with patience and often longsuffer­ing.

Change under Bush-Chene­y didn't come "in increments­" -- It was a full-out steamrolli­ng.

If ever a president needed to be bipartisan and tone down the promises that he made while campaignin­g, it was the Supreme Court appointed Bush.  

But Bush didn't let the fact that he stole that election deter him from moving full-speed ahead with his agenda.  

And what he learned in the four years before he stole yet another election was that he could be brazen about it, use rhetoric like "I'm going to spend the capital that I earned" and no Democrat would stand in his way.  The only item on Bush's agenda that he failed to get done was privatizin­g Social Security, and that was because even Republican­s weren't ready to take the heat back in their home districts.

We need a populist bulldozer of a president fighting on behalf of the people, not the corporatio­ns.  That's not Obama.
