The following video is from the March 24th, 2013 episode of Ring of Fire on Free Speech TV (freespeech.org/ringoffire.)  President Obama has made it clear that he is open to cutting essential programs like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid as part of a budget deal with Republicans.  Rather than stand up for the new deal and the millions who depend on it, Obama is willing to scrap it.  Mike Papantonio talks about this with progressive radio host Richard Fowler.
