But I wasn't so aware of the truth then.

The truth is, no matter what kind of language Obama may or may not openly use, what I have said is the truth. I do very much hope that chained CPI doesn't pass, even due to the bullheadedness of many Republicans, but to say that Obama truly does support cutting SS is misinformation at best......and, dare I say, perhaps reminiscent(even if not intentionally!) of GOP agitprop at the worst.
