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.

Exactly,,,,,,,,,ask Larry Summers - he told the truth and look what happened to him!
Maybe Obama should be offended at the insurance companies who compute those actuary tables.
I agree with the concept that SS benefits should not be based on race, creed, color, gender (or lack thereof), sexual preference, religion, or tax bracket. If that's what Obama is basing his rhetoric on, he's my man.
