And this week the Obama campaign modified his position on a sensitive issue: Social Security. Compare the current “Seniors & Social Security” page with the previous version. Now, tell me why, oh why, would the Obama campaign decide to delete the following sentence: “[Obama] does not believe it is necessary or fair to hardworking seniors to raise the retirement age.” Is he trying to stoke anxiety about his position on Social Security?
I think this warrants a nice little McCain web ad wondering aloud about whether Obama might want to raise the retirement age for Social Security. It’d certainly be truer than Obama’s widely denounced ad on Social Security this week, which Fact Check goes so far as to call a “whopper.” So great is his deception that colloquialisms must needs be unleashed to describe it.
