I didn't blame Obama for anything except proposing this to make political points by saying he is going to "compromise" with Republicans by allowing them to screw seniors.  He knows SS cut are inevitable, but he is not interested in them or certainly not in taking the blame for them.

If the only way Obama can get the GOP to raise revenue's then so be it.  It is what the GOP want and so they need to take more blame than Obama takes.  Obama doesn't want it but like Clinton, he has to compromise to get what he wants.

This doesn't raise revenue, it slows the growth of benefits.
