This was originally announced when Obama was cutting the deal with Republican
Anybody want to wager that before Obama leaves office, he'll be tying Medals of Freedom around George W. Bush's and Dick Cheney's necks?

In two separate conference calls with journalisthttp://wwws yesterday, one with progressiv e bloggers and one with a larger collection of local and national reporters, the ObamaAdmin istration emphasized that the cuts in its budget proposal represent “shared sacrifice. ” Americans of all regions and income levels will feel the brunt of “tough choices” which have to be made in order to bring the budget back into balance.
I was able to attend both of these conference calls. On the call with a wider range of journalists, administra tion officials faced repeated questions from local reporters pertaining to program cuts that impacted their specific localities . Time and again, NationalEc onomicCoun cilDirecto r GeneSperli ng said that the administra tion did not consider those programs-- ranging from LIHEAP to GreatLakes cleanup efforts to programs in Alaska--to be waste. While these programs did a lot of good for a lot of people, and while PresidentO bama personally supported and cared about those programs, they were an example of the shared sacrifice all Americans, including the ObamaAdmin istration, had to make during a severe fiscal crisis.
By emphasizing that the budget includes cuts to programs PresidentO bama cares about, the WhiteHouse seeks to demonstrat e that it is participat ing in the shared sacrifice they are calling on all Americans to make. Additional ly, they appear to be trying to counter the notion that government spending is itself inherently wasteful, just that the current economic and political climate forces us to make “tough choices.” There is also a breakup mentality in their talking points, very much like “this is hard for me, you’re a super guy / lady, I really care about you, and I hope that we can still be friends.”
I asked OMB communications chief KenBaer what shared sacrifices the budget proposal placed on higher income Americans. Baer responded the administra tion’s budget proposal reduced the itemized deductions wealthier Americans could claim on their tax returns, and also raised taxes on Americans making more than $250,000 a year.
I pointed out that those changes to the tax code were extremely unlikely to ever become law, given they were just extended two months ago and that Republicans now control the House of Representa tives. By contrast, the cuts to programs serving lower income Americans were practicall y guaranteed to pass. So, the net result of the proposal is that higher income Americans won’t have to sacrifice anything.
The most BS argument to date: "The cuts and the pain must be shared by all".
It presumes that the poor and the middle classes haven't born the brunt of what Republican
It presumes that the pain of losing a few million dollars when you have hundreds of millions, even billions, is equivalent to the pain of not knowing where your next meal is coming from, or losing the roof over your head and sleeping in your car or on the street.

How is what SPaIin says on a religious television channel (or tweets or says on Facebook) newsworthy
The equivalent from past legitimate journalist
SPaIin has no position in federal or state government
If Geraldine Ferraro's daily ramblings aren't getting the same media coverage, why are PaIin's? With the exception of Ferraro having completed her term of office, both are failed VP candidates who now have contracts as poIitical commentato

Liz Sidoti, writer of this article, obviously has a crush on Sarah Palin and is desperate for her to become a candidate for the presidency
Back in the day (I'm an old, old person), the media covered people or turned to people like Sarah Palin for comments who had expertise in the issues that made it into the news that day.

Anybody who is placated by what David Plouffe is saying and believes that Obama is now on the side of the angels is a fooI. This is just a tactical move to deflect the attention of key voting blocs within both parties that Obama has determined he needs for 2012.
