I wouldn't put too much stock in anything he does or doesn't say
He's a politician


And that means because it’s a big, diverse country and people have a lot of complicated positions, it means that in order to get stuff done, we’re going to compromise. This is why FDR, when he started Social Security, it only affected widows and orphans. Barack Obama 12-7-2010

And then it was later expanded to include everyone. I think he was making the point that Obamacare is a start, no? I don't know the context of this statement.

"i know of no plans" or "although their isn't any evidence" is no deterrence at all to them exposing one dastardly plan after another dastardly plan proving that Obama intends to take away their guns, or their free-dumb, or give out more "free stuff".
Thanks to our 'right footed friends' sarcasm and satire need be clearly labeled.

He's that powerful!

Plus, he took all the grapes and nuts out of my Grape Nuts cereal and replaced them with tiny little stones.

That people are bashing him over cuts he has not necessarily even agreed to just because Ezra Klein guesses that he might.

And I don't think it should have need a sarcasm tag, but I guess it was necessary after all. Reading some of the responses, I kind of despair.
