to invited students and faculty."
--WashPost's Lori Montgomery and Zachary A. Goldfarb: 'Obama will not blaze a fresh path ... Instead, he is expected to offer support for the [deficit] commission's work and a related effort underway in the Senate [Gang of 6] to develop a strategy for curbing borrowing. Obama will frame the approach as a responsible alternative to the 2012 plan unveiled last week by House Republicans.' http://wapo.st/hcGtGK
--L.A. Times lead story: "The president will propose raising income and Social Security taxes on the wealthy to cut red ink ... Obama will call for ... raising taxes on wealthier Americans and requiring them to pay more into Social Security ... Obama will offer some spending cuts, including trims to the Pentagon's budget, but his speech is likely to provide Americans with a vivid choice between higher taxes or fewer benefits."
Having to have come to the acceptance that the right-wing is still in the majority in Congress, "I" find I can not get excited about looking forward to listening to another speech given by our president, at this time. (nup)
