Instead of insulting freepers, please explain PN's "Little Big Man" comment.

[Miss Marple]

I am going back to the article to copy that entire paragraph. I can't see any way it is anything but a sly insult, but maybe I am missing comething.

But in a surprising way for the president the issue is win-win. If he loses in Congress, he lost on a great issue on which his large base will likely believe he was right, and on which history will not be able to prove him wrong. And if he wins, he allows the free market to energize and renew a huge creaky behemoth. My guess? Little Big Man is going to get reform/

OK, here is the paragraph. I am reading it again, but it still looks like a slam to me.

Plus, I think this is an odd way to look at Social Security reform. The issue is critical to the future of this nation and its economy, not simply a political issue.
