151. Wait is all one can do on an Obama proposal when one has invested themselves in a pig in a poke.
I'm not selling something that I don't know what it is again.

I am concerned that we are being herded into accepting and even promoting Catfood as a "sensible" and "adult" alternative to the Ryan scheme. I'm not saying that is the grand strategy but I'm not selling "The President's plan" until the details come together.

I also, as a side, think folks need to cease and desist with the nonsense the President isn't a gigantic influence on legislation. Its just false, modern Presidents initiate all the time and have a tremendous center of gravity within their own party and usually some influence on the opposition as well. Certainly in the media. If the President is behind something then such an effort is automatically "serious".
