Obama got it wrong?......What else is new?
The AARP is trying to have it both ways.
1. They can say they haven’t endorsed the president’s bill, because the president doesn’t have a bill.
2. They are pushing for all the reforms the president is pushing for.
Obama is right. He has the AARP in his back pocket. WHATEVER form the final bill takes the AARP will back it, so for a practical standpoint they HAVE endorsed the president’s health care plan (without even reading it, they could serve in congress.)
“The AARP is trying to have it both ways.

But it isn’t working so well for AARP. I read somewhere that they have had 500,000 subscription cancellations, with many more in sight. AARP is the quintessential left wing greedy money making machine, like Progressive Insurance. They don’t like to lose money or power, and right now, they are losing both ;-)
