Actually, since 2008 after Bush/around Obama start time, denials by percentage have gone up while acceptances have gone down. Don't believe me?

Annual Statistical Report on the Social Security Disability Insurance Program, 2011 - Outcomes of Applications for Disability Benefits

and

Disabled-worker statistics

So with your logic, OP, you should be thanking Obama.

It seems completely irrational to blame a one and a half term President for 10 million disability recipients.

A good proportion of those recipients actually are disabled (sorry) and unless the others have all rushed aboard fraudulently in the last 3 or so years, it's clearly a long term statistic, and not due solely to the actions of one man.

The population is getting older as is the workforce. People are being forced to work longer with all of the financial hits they have taken and their bodies are breaking down.

Buddy of mine at work just had both knees replaced. Now he's planning on working another 5 years to help his kids with their student loan debt.

Well, that doesn't fit the OP's agenda. It's HIS agenda to post on CD all day various threads about how he hates Obama. Just know that when you click on one.

It is instead you who is clueless. Before you accuse someone here you should check the facts. The official US number for unemployment is much more than counting the people who are collecting unemployment.

How the Government Measures Unemployment

The above makes about as much sense as your thread.
Probaly not these so much, but gun running to Syria is a big WTH and is his fault.

Now back to people who don't want to work......I'm starting to see many people only 50-55 claiming disabled. Pretty strange since all my uncles and dad worked well past their retirement age. Some are encouraging laziness, remember Pelsoi said....

We see it as an entrepreneurial bill,” Pelosi said, “a bill that says to someone, if you want to be creative and be a musician or whatever, you can leave your work, focus on your talent, your skill, your passion, your aspirations because you will have health care.

She forgot disability!
