Key Democrats Rail Against Obama Social Security Funding Reductions

-
Roanoke Times, 2-17-12, Pg 3: Head bargainers lay out payroll agreement.
Roanoke Times, 2-18-12, Pg 1: Congress votes for American workers
-
The Roanoke Times and their associates in the liberal media have totally “blacked-out” the strong and highly public Democrat objections to this so called “payroll tax cut bill” and instead hyped a steady drum-beat about Republican objections.
-
Instead of news coverage this is just more liberal media support for the Obama and DNC Relection Committees.
-
This bill has two major negative issues for all persons of good will:
1. It’s yet more spending, borrowing and debt
2. It defunds Social Security that will become insolvent in less than 10 years. http://www.nationalreview.com/exchequer/258075/cbo-social-security-now-officially-broke

Some of the major big-name Democrats who opposed this “Obama achievement” include:
Joe Manchin (D) of West Va

Perhaps these major Democrat Leaders have started to recognize that “the times they are a-changin”:

How could the Editorial Girls at the Roanoke Times have missed the strong public positions on this issue by such a litany of high-level Democrat Leaders?
There's something in "The Book" about Blind Followers of Blind Leaders.
