[fryguy]

in what can only be described as a candid moment at the podium, chimpy made it clear that he is waging a PR campaign to create a problem with Social Security where there isn't one. think any in the MSM will call him on it?

Q Mr. President, you've made clear that Social Security reform is your top legislative priority. <snip>

THE PRESIDENT: ...{T}he first priority of mine is to convince the people we have a problem. And I'm going to do that a lot....{N}othing will happen if the members of Congress don't believe there's a problem that needs to be solved....

.....Nothing will happen, I repeat, unless the Congress thinks there's a problem.
