Some folks don't know a joke when it slaps them in the face. Obviously, clb has a good sense of humor.
Seems that CLB10 has booked a gig at comedy central as there are multiple posts detrimental to the president that have me rolling on the floor with laughter that have been resurrected by the outrageously funny and ever entertaining CLB.
This thread is the perfect example of RWNJ duplicity and misinformation.
Look at the date. May 5th, 2009!!!
It's a "Sky is falling because of Obama thread" and it's over 4 and a half years old. It only got 3 posts then and I don't expect many more this go around. May of 2009 was when the great recession was kicking in at full speed. the Economy was dropping like a stone and the COLI was flat or negative. A lot has changed in the past 4.5 years.
CLB10 resurrected this post from the dead for what reason?..............I wonder
Retirees and the disabled should expect a raise of only about 1.5 percent next year in their Social Security benefits
The point is year after year after year after year our seniors are getting shafted by low interest rates and (of course) smaller and smaller SS benefits.
If this happened under Bush the headlines would be screaming bloody murder.
Obama may not have anything to do with the adjustment rates at present, but he has proposed a new cost of living formula that will cheat seniors of thousands of dollars over their lifetimes. He also wants to make seniors pay more for less in Medicare while continuing to send money to foreign governments. Obama is no friend of the aged.

The COLI is designed to keep the spending power of the senior recipient stable year by year due to inflation. Because inflation is at near 0%, there is no reason to give seniors more. Collecting social security is not like a job, where you expect a 2.5 to 4% raise every year just for breathing. When our increase in COLI is low then our Medicare part B payment won't raise either.
Obama give you $13 extra a week, but no more money if you are on social security. Inflation is low, you know gas prices and premiums are down.....he is such a loser.
What's worse is that some (most) of the people that voted for him, don't even understand the money scandals.
Thanks Obama, maybe Michelle can buy her mother a hideous pair of 500 dollar sneakers.
Sorry Einstein, but no POTUS sets the increase in social security. Also, you either were too ignorant to know or too biased to mention that the Republican Party was pushing to have the increases use a different calculator that would be less favorable to pensioners. CINOS like you make real conservatives like me look bad.

Go and ask a few seniors if their cost of living is increasing faster than SS payments and tell me if they say, "no".
Can someone explain to me how President Obama is preventing Social Security from increasing benefit levels? ...Also, maybe each person who wants to attack President Obama for blocking Social Security COLA's could pair off with someone who wants to attack him for handing out benefit increases to people who don't deserve them. You could just cancel each other out in a magnificent festival of ignorance.
I doubt the supposedly smarter troll-mongers could answer you since they belong to the mindset that attributes everything, especially bad, that our over-sized government is guilty of to Obama. As if he runs it all by himself. Oh he should be. But congress, who the Anti-Obama trolls conveniently overlook, just proved that false.
