Harry Reid playing the race card.

[PetroniDE]

The average life expentancy for blacks is LOWER than for whites. What part of that does Obama not understand? I expect a call from the NAACP calling me racist five minutes after I post this.

[FormerACLUmember]

Barack Obama has just proven himself another despicable foreman on the democrat party plantation, enslaving and oppressing blacks ceaselessly for 180 years.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Only "somewhat" offensive ? Well, that's good.

[thoughtomator]

Black folk would live a lot longer if they weren't taxed more heavily than a medieval serf.

[RushCrush]

I find the facts offensive, wahh wahh wahh.
Somebody call this guy (Obama) a wahhmbulance.

[rockabyebaby]

Get over yourself Obama.

[USS Alaska]

How can the truth be "offensive" ? Black men don't live as long as white men and therefore don't receive full ss benefits. How is that factual statement offensive? obama, just another house boy doing the bidding of the plantation master without regard for what is good for black people. What a hypocrite. The very people that this change would help the most and obama is dismissing it without any real rational. The demonRATs are going to be real surprised when thinking blacks switch their votes in 2006 and 2008.

The first (and most vocal) person(s) I ever heard presenting the argument about the racial disparity of Social Security were Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell and Larry Elder....

[ssaftler]

White House assertion that blacks could gain from Bush's proposed private retirement accounts because they have fewer years to collect benefits considering that they die younger.

Let's see. Every PRIVATE insurance actuary comes up with this assertion, as well as almost every government actuary. Contrast this with the one dude from Louie Farakhan's crew who thinks 2 + 2 = 57. He says that Blacks OUTLIVE Whites, so Obama Mama naturally believes him!

[QQQQQ]

As usual, the Dems object to facts.

[Congressman Billybob]

Obama is a typical Democrat. When the facts hurt your argument, whine that the Republicans were racist for mentioning that fact. Obama wants Democrats to "win" even if black citizens lose money and assets as a result. Who does he think he is, Bill Clinton?

Latest column, "NASCAR Lessons for Democrats"

[beansox]

where was obama's outrage when KKK Byrd was grilling Condi????

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Because only Democrats can do that.

[oldbrowser]

"It is puzzling to me that we are even having this debate about whether Social Security is good or not for African-Americans," said Obama, an Illinois Democrat. "I frankly found the statement that the president made somewhat offensive."

We are so whipped that we can't even mention black or they take offense. Anything we say is wrong because you have to be black to understand and therefore we are just racists.

The fact that black men don't live as long as other men is mostly based on their choices I would imagine.

I sounds to me as if Obama would rather sabotage the Presidents effort than to help his people.

[taxesareforever]

'I frankly found the statement somewhat offensive.'

What statement by a conservative or a Republican isn't found offensive by the demorats? They have such thin skin. Oh, oh, this statement might be judged discriminatory by them because of body features.

Obama Slams Bush For Telling Truth, Embarrassing Democrats

[RushCrush]

It doesn't matter what any Republicans say before or after the words "African American", the liberals will still find a way to be offended.

Clinton/Obama 2008(?)---scary
