What is Obama's real agenda-

Next year is pension reform! Cash out now while there is something left.

i am not sure

His real agenda on Medicare and Medicaid is to cut another 200 billion over the next ten years on top of the 300 billion already proposed to be cut this year, had already cut the cost of living increase of medicaid but, to gain back the support of those on medicaid and medicare he is going to give back as a free handout another 250 bucks for those on social security and you do not have to claim it on your 1040.

After doing the math:

That is what makes him such a great President.

After living through 13 Presidents I can honestly say this is the first time
I have really been concerned about the direction our country is headed
under Obama.
His current socialistic agenda is being pushed down our throats at warp speed,
and yet he can't make a decision on Afghanistan, which i believe he is waiting to do after the elections.

I do think he is waiting till after the interim elections to make a decision.
It's a tough choice, I don't think he is hesitant to make one, I just think there is significant debate on all fronts.
There also is this fact of a run off in Afghanistan that we should be considering.

I wonder how they got all those scientists to play game. Most geeks I know aren't even good tippers.

If this is true, he doesn't deserve to be President of the US and Commander in Chief.

Hanging our tropps out to dry for his own politcal reasons is just plain wrong.

I fully agree. Unfortunately, there's no real way to confirm or deny if this is the case.

I don't see anything that indicates this is the case. The US mid-terms are over a year away and nobody thinks he'd wait that long before moving more troops.

Perhaps he was talking about the Afghan elections, you know, the ones with all that fraud and all?

Obama appears to be taking the time to let alternate scenarios be planned out. A quick influx of troops isn't likely going to make our people any safer, and the implications of a big move will be felt for years.
