I thought liberals and dailykos are factually oriented, not rumor-oriented.
Someone wrote a diary that made the rec list saying that President Obama wants his organizers to vote for cutting SS, medicare, and medicaid benefits and wanting to tank the economy. Does the diarist not know that using a "balanced approach" to the deficits is something Elizabeth Warren supports too? Besides, there is NOTHING about cutting those programs in the organizing email. Why is he spreading a "Obama is planning to sell us out" diary?
Harry Reid has said "no messing with Social Security". Michael Moore praised President Obama's first second-term press conference for having a MUCH better negotiating stance and principled stance. Labor leaders have said that President Obama will not cut Social Security. Daily kos commenters acknowledge that too. Nancy Pelosi said recently that she does not support cutting benefits. Labor is organizing well this time and holding our leaders' feet to the fire. Rahm Emmanuel and Bill Daley are ALL gone. No bad influences on the president around.
The context is favorable for us. The diarist's diary makes NO sense. I do agree though that we need to MAKE them not cut social security or other good programs. We need to MAKE them be the best. President Obama WANTING to throw us under the bus and intentionally ruin America? I do not think so.
