If the President wants anyone to follow him, he had better start leading -- something he has consistently failed to do since his inauguration.

It's the season of political misinterpretations and outright lies. Websites like Politifact try to sort things out. But people still seem willing to believe the most negative things about two of our most durable social programs: Social Security and Medicare.

Call it "Helpless President Lit." A recent Ezra Klein column is the latest in a growing genre which celebrates our Commander-in-Chief, not as a powerful leader, but as a perennial victim.

S&P knows exactly what it is, and so should everyone else. It's the for-profit company which, while masquerading as an "agency," bartered its coveted AAA ratings for increased profits. The real question is why?

Social Security doesn't add to the deficit, and the only way to fix Medicare is by reducing the profit motive's influence on health care costs. Could the president really be planning to cut these programs anyway?
