After Obama's proposal on cutting earned benefits, I just can't deal with them anymore, especially the ones that ask for money. Are they kidding me?

(2,944 posts)It was with a heavy heart, as I have been contributing since he won the primary. In my retirement I feel I have no choice but save my money for living expenses. Who knows what type candidate he is gathering this money for?

(452 posts)Obama is showing that he is a social liberal and fiscal conservative. A Rockefeller Republican. He and the 1% are laughing at you.
I campaigned for him. He stabbed people in the back.

Excuse me while I burn my inauguration invitation (suitable for framing).
Not another nickel from me.

OFA is advocating for the agenda that President Obama has presented to the nation, and as an organization dedicated to this purpose, OFA has been grateful for the expression of support for its work by the President, Vice President and First Lady. Although it was privately established and will be privately operated, without government funding, OFA will work hard to retain the support and confidence of the President by effectively advocating for his Administration's core agenda. It also looks forward to working with other civic organizations that are similarly committed to the successful enactment of this agenda.
Asking for money so we can organize to cut Social Security... Not something that will work for me.

(24,096 posts)you didn't unsubscribe when Obama caved and took 700 billions away from Medicare recipients? That wasn't bad enough for you, bu something that hasn't happened, is?

(9,033 posts)or you don't. Obama didn't take 700 billions away from Medicare recipients, he took it from private and over-charging Medicare providers.
Are you mis-informed or do you have something against cracking down on waste, fraud and abuse?
That said, what he is planning to do now is reprehensible.

(13,257 posts)That's a rw talking point, by which I guess you're ironically suggesting Brigid is a troll.
Here's something that did happen: Obama put SS cuts on the table. Rationalize the reasons behind it any way you like, but you can't change that fact.
