At first, President Obama didn’t call the Republican budget plan “radical” during his town hall yesterday.
He called it “fairly radical.”
Obama later dropped the modifier in assessing the plan put forward by Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., saying it favors the rich while cutting programs for the middle class and poor, particularly Medicare and Medicaid.
“Yes, I think it’s fair to say that their vision is radical,” Obama told a friendly crowd at Facebook headquarters in Palo Alto, Cal.
“No, I don’t think it’s particularly courageous,” he added. “Because the last point I’ll make is this. Nothing is easier than solving a problem on the backs of people who are poor or people who are powerless or don’t have lobbyists or don’t have clout. I don’t think that’s particularly courageous.”

That’s why I take great pleasure in seeing the transfer of power in the [...]
