Watch Cenk on MSNBC Weekdays (6-7pm Eastern, 3-4pm Pacific).

Summary: Cenk Uygur speaks with Adam Green of the PCCC about President Obama's comments on 'entitlement programs' including social security in the context of the GOP reaction. Is the GOP moving the president closer to raising the retirement age?

4. I hope that Dean or Gore challenges him in the primary. This is just terrible. Hell, I'll vote for

Alvin Green over Obama about now.

5. it's disgusting that Obama has adopted the Republican framing of SS/Medicare

They're stealing our money -- they've already stolen our houses, and now they're coming for our groceries and medicine in old age.

I wish we had a leader who was up to the task of fighting for us.

8. Social Security is our savings that we have been taking out of our own paychecks and

saving for our retirement, and not for Washington's piggy bank. Thanks Cenk for setting this straight...

9. The President is

not going cut Social Security

10. Why else would he design a commission to attack it

and repeatedly lie about it, claiming it's causing a deficit, and that FDR did not originally sign it for retirees?

By the way: I thought the Commission's recommendations were dead. Looks like Obama's cheering them on in this video, boasting that 11 members voted for it.

11. Great clip.

Obama is such a disappointment.
He is turning into the best republican president we have had in two generations.
Unreal that he is going after our society's safety nets.
