'The Raiders of Your Lost Retirement' -- Obama Campaign Website Weasels on Social Security

by divineorder

Today I posted a quickie  which included these words from kos:

You see, Republicans want to destroy Social Security, and Democrats want to ... destroy it a little less? God, I hope not. But that's the Obama people got last week.

Now the campaign website has 'clarified' the President's position, still talking  about how much he and Romney agree FTW !!!!! (Hat Tip to Common Dreams)

The President knows that guaranteed Social Security benefits are not handouts, but a bedrock of the commitment to retirement security America makes to our seniors. He believes that no current beneficiaries should see their basic benefits reduced, and he will not accept any approach that slashes benefits for future generations. President Obama stands firmly opposed to privatizing Social Security—the future security of hard-working Americans should not be dependent on the fluctuations of the stock market.
