The biggest mistake Obama made was taking the Military, SS, Medicare/Medicaid budget cuts off the table. To tell you the truth, the whole thing is a gimmick no matter whether he does it now or next year as those programs account for 90% of the fucking budget.

I think we have had this discussion before, I applauded him for cutting the one military project, and I agree that taking the Military/SS/Medicare off the table shows it's a gimmick, a sound bite and not a real attempt to resolve it. Whatever tho, he has enough votes that he should be pushing his agenda and let the dice land where they will, not blaming a 40 senate republican opposition for stalemating him.
