Why Isn't Obama Doing What The GOP Promised To Do But Didn't For The Last 50 Years?

 It's truly deplorable that Obama won't fulfill Republican pledges to cut Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid.  I profess total bewilderment on this point.  How could I be expected to comprehend that the GOP needs their elderly white voters who would revolt if they lose a single farthing from these entitlements and to whom the GOP has pandered since Nixon?  (Well, you can see why they need me on NPR and PBS: To proclaim a fact-free viewpoint which is apparently what constitutes 'conservatism' these days.)

Well, hopefully Obama will discover that he was elected to serve the Republican Party--not the American people.
