When I heard Obama say that ...i thought he'd read a script from Petersen Foundation or Grover Norquist! Should have been first clue as to what his views were on SS and the people who depend on it.

He's been "Captured" by the Glow from Wall Street! I don't know if we can get him back...because they've got him squirreled away deep under the Goldman-Sachs fortress. No way to get in there...not even a "bunker buster" can get through those walls.
