And of course Obamatrons will deny this is a lie... Not unlike the lie of 100 years of more war, Obama's campaign seems to rely on fear- mongering and division... OBAMA STOP YOUR LIES< APOLOGIZE FOR NOT MATCHING DEED WITH WORDS BY RUNNING A CLEAN CAMPAIGN... And this applies to Obama's supporters as well..

In Daytona Beach, Obama said that "if my opponent had his way, the millions >>of Floridians who rely on it would've had their Social Security tied up in >>the stock market this week." He referred to "elderly women" at risk of >>poverty, and said families would be scrambling to support "grandmothers and >>grandfathers." That's not true. The plan proposed by President Bush and supported by McCain in 2005 would not have allowed anyone born before 1950 to invest any part of their Social Security taxes in private accounts. All current retirees would be covered by the same benefits they are now. Obama would have been correct to say that many workers under age 58 would have had some portion of their Social Security benefits affected by the current market turmoil – if they had chosen to participate. And market drops would be a worry for those who retire in future decades. But current retirees would not have been affected. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
