68. I would rather a philanderer who campaigned on issues involving
poverty than a president who is loyal to his wife but does not keep the promises of every president since FDR to the elderly, especially the poor and elderly, in the country.

Marriage can be very difficult and people make mistakes.

But cheating seniors out of the Social Security insurance benefits that they started paying for when they were kids is just inexcusable. It is not a mistake. It is much worse.

And you should understand that we seniors feel as betrayed when our Democratic president proposes cutting our Social Security insurance benefits as women and men do when their spouses cheat on them -- and the cuts to Social Security will really hit the very poorest and most vulnerable and helpless among us.

At the very least, Obama should have apologized for the fact that our government is fighting wars and has built a huge palace in Baghdad while cutting Social Security insurance benefits to seniors.

It is just unbelievable. Where are our values as a nation? Where are Obama's values.? I would not expect better of the Republicans.

But I really expected better of Obama.
