Obama tried and in many ways succeeded! The thing about a good cop/bad cop routine is even if the good cop doesn't hit you they're still actively supporting the bad cop who absolutely is hitting you. Dems don't have to gut welfare themselves, if they want it to happen all they have to do is sit back while their counterparts on team bad cop do it for them. Basically what I'm saying is you're either an incurable moron or a DNC intern, either way you should be embarassed.
