Why Is Barack Obama trying to scare Americans in Florida over Social security & Stock market issues?

[Jay D]

“In Daytona Beach, Obama said that "if my opponent had his way, the millions of Floridians who rely on it would've had their Social Security tied up in the stock market this week." He referred to "elderly women" at risk of poverty, and said families would be scrambling to support "grandmothers and grandfathers."

That's not true. The plan proposed by President Bush and supported by McCain in 2005 would not have allowed anyone born before 1950 to invest any part of their Social Security taxes in private accounts. All current retirees would be covered by the same benefits they are now.

Obama would have been correct to say that many workers under age 58 would have had some portion of their Social Security benefits affected by the current market turmoil – if they had chosen to participate. And market drops would be a worry for those who retire in future decades. But current retirees would not have been affected.”

Does it seem like Barack Obama does not really care about voters in Florida since he is willing to spread lies? Specially when he went along with Howard Dean & the DNC and didn’t care to even count all the votes in Florida or at the last give Floridians a chance for a re-vote?

Why is Obama trying so hard to scare people in Florida mostly… Senior citizens?
