I had the same reaction. They're on SSI now (his) and I think they figured out that any Repuke candidate is out to trash SS, SSI, Medicare, Medicaid, etc. He rails about 'socialism' but they live on "socialist" SSI. In other words, our tax dollars pay to support their tea bagging butts. Anyway, they said they'd vote for Obama this time. Whether they actually do is another story.
