I'd Love To See Obama Supporters Defend Barack Over The Third Rail

If any liberal has followed politics in America in the last few years, they can tell you that times were down and out until George Bush screwed with the unscrewable. The third rail is something you never touch on a train track and absolutely stay away from when a government program is considered as such.

When the President and his minions tried to privatize social security, they began to lose and lose big. It was George's first defeat and now it is one of many, especially with a Democratic majority in the Congress. Although Bush was doing spectacular damage to our nation from January of 2001, it was the social security debate that pulled the wool from the country's collective eyes.

So if any Obama supporters can tell me why Barack is buying into the right-wing hype that social security is a growing problem that must be addressed with increasing taxes for the slightly upper middle class (something wingers will pound us for), please let me know. If you are shocked that your candidate would do such a thing and the first thing that comes to mind is how to spin this so you can justify your support for him....please do not do that, just take a step back and realize that there are eight candidates in the race and that Barack isn't the only anti-Hillary.

We all know what the real problem is behind those increasing social security costs and Paul Krugman can tell you why.
