Went Too Far? Exaggerated? The President? Even Rush Limbaugh don't like to say that about a President. Must be bad, really bad...

NEW AARP CHIEF GAVE BIG TO OBAMA (The Hill 3-12-09)

By Jeffrey Young

Incoming AARP CEO A. Barry Rand contributed $8,900 to President Obama’s campaign committees, federal records show.

Rand, a retired senior executive at Xerox Corp., Avis Group and Equitant Inc. and the current chairman of Howard University's board of trustees, gave the maximum $4,600 to Obama’s election campaign and an additional $4,300 to the Obama Victory Fund, a joint fundraising entity of Obama and the Democratic National Committee.

Altogether, Rand has given $15,900 to Democratic campaign committees since 1995, according to searches of Federal Election Commission databases dating back to 1990 that are maintained by CQ Money Line and the Center for Responsive Politics.

As an organization, the AARP strenuously insists on its nonpartisan identity . . .

It’s beyond *inaccuracies.* He’s misleading (lying).

He is not lying or exaggerating. AARP is 100% behind anything 0bama wants, even if it is too kill Senior Citizens.

They just can't admit it.

“...if we let cable television come to town hall meetings and kill health care reform for another year, and put the special interests back in charge,” Gibbs told reporters. “

Go ahead, keep on beating up your cheerleaders.

The arrogance in this administration is overwhelming sometimes.

The AARP supports Obama’s Socialist healthcare plan but Obama jumped the gun. This week the AARP was going to run ads showing bits and pieces of what they support.

Obama told the crowd at an area high school. “I don’t believe anyone should be in charge of your health insurance decisions except you and your doctor.

Then STFU and leave us alone and stop screwing with our health care.

My idea for a DFU song (if it hasn’t already been done): “Grandma got run over by Obama”

The scumbags at AARP are feeling the heat from seniors and, as scumbags do, is trying to wriggle out of the mess it has made for itself.

Two comments:

Funny how Obama has been recharacterizing the health care bill, without any real changes being made to it. Rule: don’t change the bill, just change your rhetoric— that’ll fool ‘em.

AARP is apparently reacting to cancellations, hostile feedback, as they most certainly HAVE been supporting this bill all over the airwaves....
