That's what the AARP wanted for it's members, a $400billion cut in Medicare and no more COLA increases... The way we're going, they may have to pay for their Obama prescribed two aspirin.

I keep hearing about how the races are "tightening", in the context of the Democrats gaining ground. The races appear to be tightening, all right -- but in favor of the Republicans. Another 3 weeks? I think George Soros has it right: This is going to be a Republican avalanche. realclearpolitics.com

An amazing remark from Mark Halperin, the biggest Obama fanboy of all: "With the exception of core Obama Administration loyalists, most politically engaged elites have reached the same conclusions: the White House is in over its head, isolated, insular, arrogant and clueless about how to get along with or persuade members of Congress, the media, the business community or working-class voters. This view is held by Fox News pundits, executives and anchors at the major old-media outlets, reporters who cover the White House, Democratic and Republican congressional leaders and governors, many Democratic business people and lawyers who raised big money for Obama in 2008, and even some members of the Administration just beyond the inner circle. Man, this guy has really flipped positions in the course of a few months. time.com
