12. I tried holding my tongue here, but I'm calling BS.

Basically, what I got from what you're saying is that gun laws are less important to you than some manufactured outrage over just a proposed cut to SS. People always conveniently ignore the fact that this was not his ideal budget, and that for someone who is a "phony" and eager to cut the Big Three, he has had over 4 years to do so and still has yet to do it. People forget the type of domestic terrorists that he is dealing with in Congress, and act like he is some dictator or king who can do whatever the fuck he wants. You call the man a phony over this one issue, and yet purists like you are never anywhere to be seen when he does actually do something the Left supports like the Fair Pay Act and the Auto Bailout, and being the 1st president to endorse gay marriage. And while he was just proposing CPI, Republicans actually want to get rid of SS altogether, but nobody ever wants to talk about that.
So-called "progressives" like you never want to give Obama credit for anything. Ever.
