Obama May Do Social Security Reform During Lame Duck Session, Senate Democrats Worry

We're back to the old Obama "Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good"-talk­ing point, are we?

[Note that Obama and his merry band of surrogates like David Axelrod dropped the "enemy of the good" rhetoric early on for "possible".]

To those like you who spew rhetoric like, "Let him get reelected first, then we'll worry", and "Look at how impatient they are.  What did they think, he was going to come in and fundamenta­lly, radically change and improve Washington in two years?",  I don't think anybody thought that.  I certainly didn't.  I think everybody was in it for the long haul, and was willing to have patience.  As long as it was going in the correct direction.  But it's not.

The reason people are disappoint­ed isn't because Obama hasn't succeeded.  He's succeeded just fine for the banks, Wall Street, Big PhRma, the insurance industry.  People are disappointed because he's because he's not trying on our behalf, the people's.  He's doing the opposite.  Everything he accomplish­es is by stuffing his administra­tion with the architects of the economic meltdown and meeting in secret with the very Iobbyists that he was going to disempower­, continuing to have them write the legislatio­n that is destroying the poor and middle classes.  

Everything that Obama does is intended to entrench the system rather than subvert and undermine it.  So if he were actually fighting, everyone would have all the patience in the world and say,"We're behind you", etc.  The disappoint­ment is that he's not trying; he's doing the opposite.  

The proof of that is evident on a daily basis.
