Obama’s inclusion of the provision was an olive branch to Republicans, who have long-championed cuts to entitlement programs. GOP leaders were quick to praise him — if tepidly — for offering it.

"While the president has backtracked on some of his entitlement reforms that were in conversations that we had a year and a half ago, he does deserve some credit for some incremental entitlement reforms that he has outlined in his budget,” Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said Wednesday.

Walden delivered a different verdict, telling CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that Obama was “trying to balance this budget on the backs of seniors."

That's precisely the message Republicans used to great effect in 2010, when, despite their own calls to slash Medicare spending, they accused Democrats of threatening seniors by enacting billions of dollars in Medicare cuts under Obama's signature healthcare reform law.

"I don't underestimate the degree to which they'll be disingenuous," Rep. Mark Takano (Calif.), a freshman Democrat who has emerged as one of the loudest critics of Social Security benefit cuts, said Friday. "It harkens back to the charge that $700 billion was taken from Medicare and put into ObamaCare, and [they] told all the seniors it was a [benefit] cut. That was very deceptive, [and] this is another instance of that."

Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.), another staunch defender of Social Security, echoed that charge Friday.

"I never underestimate Republican hypocrisy," he said.

Of course! At least Evince provided a link.

While I agree the chained cpi maneuver was originally a republican idea and that it was an olive branch from the president to show his willingness to compromise (despite my earlier protestation), I also realize now that citizens and the public in general are too stupid to realize any of it and will fault democrats in '14.

I suspect the chained cpi carrot will be snatched away once negotiations begin and the republicans once again refuse to cooperate. THAT will seriously hurt them in '14.

I think it rings true....everyone knows the only reason the left would sound like it was interested in solving a problem would be if they could use it as a trap to fuck everyone over.....
