Nobody could've predicted this, except everyone:
1-Release a budget with cuts to Social Security.
2-The base pushes back: Um, we're Democrats. We don't cut Social Security!
3-President Barack Obama gets defensive: But it's the Republicans' idea!
4-Except that the Republicans didn't include Social Security cuts in their crazy draconian budget. Why? Because only a moron would step on that third rail.
5-Re-read step #1.
6-Republicans begin 2014 campaign, charging that Democrats want to cut Social Security.
