(3,300 posts)It's too bad most of the people I've seen eating with him, are fairly low information voters. They ask lame questions with no followup. I'd be very polite, yet I would let the President know that I know, that he knows, that I know, that he knows... well, you get the point.

I'd ask him what, if anything, he planned on doing with Social Security, and if he DID
plan to do anything with it, and if he DID, I'd tell him to raise the cap before even Thinking
about any cuts.

(12,272 posts)I had been contributing a couple times a week, but sort of started to think the dinner thing was just a hook. I am going to contribute to this last dinner effort now. Not that I will win and I knew it wasn't a lie, but wondered if it was slick marketing.

I love them both.
