That is no surprise since the AARP, the great protector of we seniors, supported his presidency.
I am of the opinion, that the article purposely obfuscates the fact that the administration has neglected and continuously neglects the plight of the senior citizens who look upon Social Security as a means for survival. It seemingly is more important to BHO to secure his "legacy" than see to it that our seniors are able to face the mounting cost of day to day living.
I am disappointed, but not shocked, by the lack of candor by AARP and will not renew my membership.
