A simple solution to a great deal of the nation's problems

Seriously, President Obama should come out against oxygen so Republicans would all suffocate.  Here's the latest proof:

U.S. Proposes Cuts to Rates in Medicare Payments

What just happened:

An Obama administration proposal to reduce Medicare payment rates for managed care plans was met with resistance by Republicans, who said beneficiaries would suffer.

So this president just proposed cutting spending, something that, up to now, I thought, I think we all understood, was one of the Republicans' highest priorities and, true to form, "if the black guy in the White House is 'fer it, we must be agin' it."

I'd like to see the headline in the paper tomorrow:  

PRESIDENT OBAMA SAYS OXYGEN GOOD

It would, it seems clear, solve a LOT of our problems.
