President Obama is doing what no Republican would dare do - despite their obvious desire - cut benefits to Social Security. Only Obama could do so by being a Democrat. It does make one wonder if Obama *is* a Democrat. For a nice summary, see:

When the huge financial institution HSBC was caught laundering drug money and working with clients associated with terrorism, what did Obama's administration do? - it levied a fine equivalent to 5 weeks of profits.. No criminal prosecutions. See

And how many Banksters were put into jail? Zero.
So, perhaps it's time for Obama to admit he is actually a Republican.
