They are and were oblivious to the real day-to-day expenses of millions of seniors. No 2010 COLA is bad news and bad news that will not be mitigated my a $250 one-time payment. That $250, as we all know, will vanish. It will be eaten up before we know what hit us.

I am a devout Democrat, liberal and free-thinking. Mr.Obama held out hope and made a promise. We needed a reformer a le Roosevelt. That’s what I voted for. The President is sorely in need of some bad news himself. There will be no reform, not even a whisper of reform, as long as a war is going on. There will be no greatness touching his presidency. A timid, reluctant, uncourageous President will not suffice this time. President Obama will not get my vote in 2012 if he continues on his present path.

It is intolerable that we as a nation cannot rear a politician with the guts of a Lincoln, a Roosevelt, even a Lyndon Johnson. That is because the politicians are still controlled by the Money-Leviathan that rules this country, heaps riches on the pols, and suppresses the common people, of which I am one.
