However, being the consummate pragmatist that he is, Obama recognizes that there is a bit of a time buffer in the funding available to the SS trust fund and as a stopgap measure, this was preferable to the GOP desire to simply shut down the government

Well, one could argue that Obama shouldn't have lowered the SS tax, he should have lowered the income tax by 2 percent. If the GOP wanted to make an issue of that, let them. It really isn't clear to me why he took the SS route.
