It looks as if the blue haired "mobs" have at least been heard by the very liberal group the AARP. This is exactly why the liberal demwits don't get it, they just do not understand that things must be cut to provide for others. IE: "spread the wealth"
AARP to Obama: No Health Plan Endorsement Yet
A group usually seen as one of Barack Obama's allies in the health care debate — AARP — says the president went too far Tuesday when he said the seniors lobby had endorsed the legislation pending in Congress.
AARP is sensitive to the issue because polls show that Medicare beneficiaries are worried their healthcare program will be cut to subsidize coverage for the uninsured.
At the town hall in Portsmouth, N.H., Obama said, "We have the AARP onboard because they know this is a good deal for our seniors." He added, "AARP would not be endorsing a bill if it was undermining Medicare."
But Tom Nelson, AARP's chief operating officer, said, "Indications that we have endorsed any of the major healthcare reform bills currently under consideration in Congress are inaccurate."
Like Obama, AARP wants action this year to cover the uninsured and restrain healthcare costs, but the organization has refrained from endorsing legislation. Nelson said AARP would not endorse a bill that reduces Medicare benefits.
A spokesman said the Medicare cuts that have been proposed so far would not affect benefits.

Doublespeak?? or something like it.
"double speak?"
that's the liberal double standard and their warped way of thinking that no one would notice or was too dumb to comprehend.
just like they say we must pass this healthcare bill NOW! but it wont go into effect until 2014, HUH?
And it will cost 2 billion bucks but decrease the deficit. HUH?
yup, we are the stoopid ones all right.
