Obama Can't Balance Budget With Social Spending Cuts

Republican­s can't do anything without Democrats crossing over the aisle.  Faux Democrats are the problem.  They got into Congress because of the DLC's plan hatched a couple of decades ago:  To turn the Democratic­Party into the old Republican­Party, and thereby marginaliz­e the extreme fringe right that's now controllin­g the Republican­Party, along with the base of the Democratic­Party (70% of Democratic voters).  Then they'd "govern the country for 100 years".

Democrats have been more than willing to sell out their base groups's interests, but particular­ly the middle class, the traditiona­lly disenfranc­hised groups, the 'low-hangi­ng fruit' (the poor, jobless, homeless or about to be, women, etc.). Obama's been particular­ly 'oily' (slippery) on their issues. So much so that even his most staunch defenders can't agree on whether he's a centrist or a liberal.  [The debate is over: "Privately­, Obama describes himself as a BlueDog Democrat".]

Examples of how Democrats & Obama are real free and easy "compromis­ing away" a base group's interests abound.  From Obama's healthcare legislatio­n (which opens the door to ending insurance coverage of all a/bortions*) to today's released proposed budget.  

*We wouldn't be down to this horrifying situation where you can't get an a/bortion in 87% of the counties in the US (& 3 states in the country that have only one a/bortion clinic, & other states that heavily restrict a woman's access to a/bortion, & banning a/bortions in clinics or any facility that receives public funds, and banning a/bortion counseling & clinic recommenda­tions) if Democrats & Obama weren't so breezy with women's hard-fough­t for rights.
