"Unveiled Monday, Obama's sweeping plan to create jobs and control deficit spending includes $248 billion in Medicare reductions and $73 billion in cuts to Medicaid and other health programs. Among the changes, Obama has proposed to hike premium costs for wealthier seniors enrolled in Medicare's prescription drug program, and increase the deductible for seniors receiving physician services under Medicare."

not on the table? How do you explain it?

Then there is this:

"From the White House Rose Garden Monday morning, Obama said the changes are necessary to make the entitlements sustainable and ensure they're around for the benefit of future generations."

"not on the ***** table" . . . . hmmmmmm - an interesting perspective in light of the facts.

and this:

"But if those are taken off the table and the president advocates to tax the rich and invest in jobs, he will have a lot of support."

hmmmmmm - ". . . . taken off the table . . . . "

but I thought you said they were "not on the ***** table"?
