Wolf Blitzer: "Seniors want to know why Pres. Obama is depriving them"

[Thrill]

"Seniors want to know why Pres. Obama is depriving them of something, they've gotten every yr since 1975"

I kid you not. How do you like that liberal media? He just said that on his tease for the SS segment. I'm really surprised Obama's approval numbers aren't at 30% with the way MSM twist the news.

1. Almost as "fair and balanced" as Fox.

:sarcasm:

[tularetom]

2. Maybe seniors who couldn't answer a single question on Jeopardy want to know this

But most of us who are actually literate understand how the Social Security COLA's are calculated.

3. Bwha! nt

8. Touche!

I'll never forget his stupidity on Jeopardy! The pity money was hilarious!

17. Ain't that the truth.

a perfect response.....:thumbsup:

4. Sorry Wolfie. This senior doesn't feel deprived.

In fact for the first time in years I feel like the POTUS gives a damn about us.

If you're talking about the SS COLA, well, we can't go on pounding money down the rat hole of ill conceived wars and max out the credit card without the bill coming due. I'll hand wave that 20 or 30 bucks if that helps bring down the debt.

6. Seniors were told when we received that 5% increase it would be

the last increase for two years. We all knew it, we prepared for it and now are awaiting that nice bounce of $250. I haven't heard anyone complaining they feel "deprived."...

[Phx_Dem]

7. And children want to know why seniors are depriving them.

[WI_DEM]

9. Wolf Blitzer is a first class jackass if he can't explain that cost of living increases are tied to

the inflation rate which has been flat. And furthermore, Obama is working on getting a one time $250 check to these seniors. I tell you some seniors are getting me mad they are so upset if they don't get there cost of living increases and then they think if there is health care reform it will destroy there precious Medicare. It's fine if they have health insurance but nobody else!? (yes, I know that it certainly isn't all seniors who feel this way).

10. That's why helping Obama is not olny holding his feet to the fire.

It's taking on these fools in the media who are ready to destroy him and everything meaningful he tries to do. The only allies Obama has it seems is Rahm, Pelosi, and Biden at times, oh and Kerry. Basically everyone is against the guy. The media is definitely in dirty pockets, then he has other people who don't hate him but share in some level of dissatisfaction inadvertently helping these fools with their meme.

11. Wolfie is drooling over baloons right now.

Speculating. That's the new news these days.

13. who are these people that the talking heads keep refering to?

How does he know seniors are feeling this or that? Nobody's ever asked me.
They make crap up and pass it off as fact.

[Arkana]

14. It's too bad Wolfie McBlitzer has already sacrificed all his credibility.

Otherwise what he says might actually mean something.

[prostomulgus]

15. I quit watching cnn months ago.

They've swung way far to the hard right. Their hatred and racism is spilling out onto their programs. I won't watch them again until their coverage becomes less racist and more pro-Obama.

[Bluenorthwest]

16. Blitzer is hurling a common insult at seniors

pretending that they do not understand the benefits they receive and how it all functions. Hint for Wolf: people are very interested in their income, and seek out information about it. This interest does not cease to exist later in life.

[ProgressOnTheMove]

18. I think a good 50+ percent of America are pretty wise to the media games now. Thankfully progressive

media keeps us up to date, with whats really going on. Although whatever source a person gets info from 'always verify' just the best way to go.
