Obama is a Shrewd Fox dancing Tango with the Republicans :
Obama can say that these reductions ( Troops in Iraq and others ) are part of his good-faith attempt to conform to the budget compromise made in August 2011.
No one takes the super committee seriously in Washington. The deadlock in the super committee transfers to the President the right to pick and choose the cuts he will make. Constitutionally speaking, the House must introduce all spending bills. In fact, the President has possessed this power for two generations. Obama has been granted a license to cut as he sees fit. It is clear that his first cut is the cost of keeping troops in Iraq.
These cuts are symbolic. But symbols are important in life. They are important in politics. Someone has to propose cuts, and some special-interest groups must suffer cuts. Special-interest groups resist all cuts.
Republicans believe that they can take all the "Entitlements" from the poorest Americans, and that Taxes should be paid mainly by the Poor and Minorities. If Mitt Romney becomes president of the USA he will conform to the harsh reality that this feat is impossible.
Fortunately Mitt Romney is a Chameleon that changes colors with great ease and speed. He will be more liberal than what all Republican voters expect. He has to.
