“OBAMA HITS SOCIAL SECURITY FRICTION…..”

THIS IS THE TITLE OF AN ARTICLE POSTED , FEBRUARY 23, IN THE PITTSBURGH, PA “POST-GAZETTE”.

IT IS REVEALING THE REASON THAT FORMER PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH GOT SO ENTANGLED IN BAD DECISION MAKING AND THREW THIS COUNTRY INTO A DEEPER RECESSION, ON TOP OF AN UNWARRENTED EXTENTION OF AN UNAFFORDABLE PREOCCUPATION WITH GLOBAL POWER MONGERING, BY A COUNTRY THAT CANNOT MANAGE ITS OWN INTERNAL CIVIL WAR AND IN-PROCESS GOVERNMENT SEIZURE.

THIS COMMENTARY, ON THAT ARTICLE, IS BY DAWN NARET’, PITTSBURGH, PA

portions in quote: “PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA IS EAGER TO SEEK A BIPARTISAN SOLUTION TO ENSURE THE LONG-TERM SOLVENCY OF SOCIAL SECURITY, PEOPLE WHO HAVE SPOKEN WITH HIM SAY, BUT HE IS RUNNING INTO OPPOSITION FROM HIS PARTY’S LEFT AND FROM DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS WHO CONTEND THAT HIS POLITICAL CAPITAL WOULD BE BETTER SPENT ON HEALTH CARE AND OTHER PRIORITIES…………..”

“WITHIN THE ADMINISTRATION, ‘THE QUESTION IS WHETHER IT HELPS YOU IN MOVING THE REST OF THE AGENDA OR HURTS YOU’…SAID JOHN D. PODESTA, AN INFORMAL ADVISOR TO MR. OBAMA………”

“MR PODESTA IS AMONG THOSE ARGUING FOR ACTION SOONER, RATHER THAN LATER. ‘WHAT THIS CRISIS HAS PROVEN, IS THAT WE NEED TO HAVEA BASIC BENEFIT THAT KEEPS PEOPLE OUT OF POVERTY, AND THAT WE NEED TO WORK AT BOTH ENDS- TOWARD FISCAL SUSTAINABILITY AND TOWARD ENSURING THAT PEOPLE, PARTICULARLY AT THE BOTTOM, HAVE ADEQUATE BENEFIT’…………..”

“THOSE WHO OPPOSE ACTION SAID MR. OBAMA MUST FOCUS ON HIS BIGGER PRIORITY – HEALTH CARE LEGISLATION TO EXPAND ACCESS TO INSURANCE AND REDUCE COSTS OF CARE.”

“SOCIAL SECURITY STILL RUNS A SURPLUS, AND ITS RESERVES WILL NOT BE EXAUSTED UNTIL 2041…..”

“MEDICARE, BY CONTRAST, REQUIRES BIG INFUSIONS FROM GENERAL REVENUES EACH YEAR; ITS HOSPITAL TRUST FUND IS ALREADY RUNNING ANNUAL DEFICITS AND WILL BE EXAUSTED BY 2019.” – END QUOTES OF ARTICLE

NOW, LETS LOOK AT THE FIRST PROBLEM:

“PRESIDENT” OBAMA IS ONLY PROPERLY TITLED “PRESIDENT” IN ONE LINE AND IS THEREAFTER TITLED “MR OBAMA”. I DESPISE THIS LAPSE IN PROPER JOURNALISTIC GRAMMER AND DENOUNCE AUTHOR, JACKIE CALMES, NEW YORK TIMES, AS A DOCUMENTED BIASED OPINION OF “CHEAP SHOT” JOURNALISM.

THERE IS NO INCIDENCE, WHERE A CURRENT U.S. PRESIDENT MAY BE ADDRESSED AS “MR.”. IT IS ONLY ACCEPTABLE AFTER “EX-“PRESIDENTS HAVE FADED INTO A LONG-GONE STATUS AND AS A LOYAL AMERICAN, I DO NOT APPROVE OF EVEN THAT!

A U.S. PRESIDENT DESERVES PATRIOTIC RESPECT WHETHER ACTIVE OR IN-ACTIVE! AND A JOURNALIST IS COMMITTING A GRAVE ERROR OF FORBIDDEN BIAS, TO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THEM WITH PROPER RESPECT, WHETHER THEY APPROVE OF THEM OR NOT. TO “CHEAP SHOT” THEM BY ERASING THEIR CORRECT TITLE IS A VIOLATION OF BIAS IN JOURNALISM.

NOW NEXT:

ME THINKS MR. PODESTA SPEAKS WITH FORKED TONGUE! TO ENCOURAGE ACTION MORE “SOONER THAN LATER”, ON AN IMMEDIATE NEED ISSUE (STARVING AND HOMELESS S.S. RECIPIENTS) REVEALS PODESTA TO BE A THIGH RUBBER WITH A “TEAM LOYAL” CO-OPERATION INTENTION.

BUT, WITHIN THE SAME CONVERSATION/INTERVIEW, TO POSE A QUESTION OF “WHETHER IT HELPS YOU IN MOVING THE REST OF THE AGENDA OR HURTS YOU…” SLIDES IN A HIDDEN BLOCK AGAINST PRESIDENT OBAMA’S “RIP-ROARING AND READY-TO-MOVE” EFFORTS.

WHY WOULD HE, ON ONE HAND ADVISE THAT THIS IS NEEDED MORE “SOONER THAN LATER”, AND THEN BACK-OUT OF THAT WITH A HOLD ON AND CONSIDER THE “AGENDA” PROGRESS?
GRANTED, PRIORITIES MUST BE ESTABLISHED, IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH ANY GIVEN PLAN OF ACTION.

BUT WASN’T MORE, “SOONER THAN LATER” A PRIORITY RATING PLACEMENT? DIDN’T HE ALREADY EVALUATE THE “AGENDA” PROCESS, BEFORE DECIDING THAT S.S. WAS A “SOONER” RATED ITEM ON THE AGENDA?

HE DID, I’M SURE AND DECIDED TO DOUBLE TALK HIS ADVISEMENT INTO A HESITATION AND STALLING BLOCK OPINION TO PRESIDENT OBAMA. THESE PEOPLE TALK LIKE “SILVER-TONGUED DEVILS” WHEN BOTH AGREEING TO GIVE FULL SUPPORT AND BLOCKING/STALLING THE SUPPORTED ONE AT THE SAME TIME!

I AM VERY HAPPY TO READ THAT MR. PODESTA IS CONCERNED THAT WE “KEEP PEOPLE OUT OF POVERTY” BUT I HAVE TO ASK….
WHO IS THE “YOU” IN QUESTIONING WHETHER THE AGENDA WILL HELP OR HURT YOU. HOW COULD KEEPING DISABLED AND RETIRED CITIZENS OUT OF POVERTY “HURT” YOUR AGENDA?

JUST WHAT THE H— “IS” THE AGENDA THEN ?

ARE YOU FOCUSING ON IMMEDIATE SAFTEY NETTING ALREADY HOMELESS, POVERTY STRICKEN,  S.S. DEPENDANT CITIZENS, OR JUST RUBBING THEIR THIGHS TO PRETEND THAT YOU AIM TO SEEK IMMEDIATE HELP FOR THEM?

THIS IS A DOUBLE-TALK EXAMPLE OF DECADES OF SELF-INTEREST, ANTI-CITIZEN’S NEEDS AND RIGHTS TO FEDERAL SUPPORT AND PROTECTIONS AS WELL AS AN EXAMPLE OF “TWIST HIS HEAD…HE’LL EAT ANYTHING!” MANIPULATION OF THE PROGRESS OBTAINABLE, BY A SINCERE U.S. PRESIDENT !

I, FOR ONE SUPPORTED PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH, FOR HIS SINCERE INTENTIONS TO PROVE THAT HE COULD DO THE JOB. I STILL BELIEVE THAT HIS INTENTIONS WERE GOOD….IT WAS HIS ADVISORS AND FORKED-TONGUED COUNCELORS THAT GAVE FALSE INFORMATION AND MANIPULATED BAD DECISIONS, FOR THEIR OWN SELF-INTERESTS.
