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

Here is what I speculate - that Axelrod doesn't know. Again, I emphasize, I am speculating. So, I am willing to listen to what O has to say - it should come from his mouth and not someone else.

And you did hear it come out of Obama's mouth.  

Firstly, there is nothing that Axelrod or any other of Obama's spokespersons say that isn't Obama-approved.  

But, as you don't know how it works (politics in Washington, White House communications, etc.), if you listened to Obama's speech at the convention, you'd have heard it.  Not just from him, but from Bill Clinton, and from Nancy Pelosi, and from Dick Durbin.  They've been doing the slow and steady drip-drip-drip of softening up the People for a few months now.  So that if and when they win reelection, they'll say, "That's what the election was about".  Just as Pelosi said about "taking impeachment off the table" in the 3 weeks prior to the 2006 midterm elections", and what Obama said about "looking forward, not back" about not prosecuting torturers or investigating Bush-Cheney.
