Reactive

reactive - participating readily in reactions. As in, chemically reactive.

Sticking to the theme of warping scientific concepts to political realities, how is this relevant? Well our fair President did come out with a proposed budget for FY 2012. It was exciting at the time, it was oh so long ago. Back in mid-February (maybe Valentine's Day!)

Now our Obama is going to announce his seriousness about the deficit, and the debt, this Wednesday. I suppose he will weave these serious thoughts, including actually touching and scaling back the enormous entitlement expenditures of Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and attempt to infuse his budget with these budget reductions.

It will be the compromise to win Republican votes. It will be his reaction to them. The tea party types, they do not compromise. Is going to meet them half way when they don't even budge, and force you to meet them close to their starting point, really the right strategy?

Isn't this the man who organized on the city streets of Chicago? Lets have it then, where is the community kick-butt organizer lurking inside??
