Real Leadership on Social Security
October 27, 2007
During a town hall meeting at a Des Moines area senior center, Senator Barack Obama vowed to challenge the conventional thinking in Washington, D C that treats Social Security like a “political football." Obama said it was important to talk openly and honestly with the American people about how to strengthen Social Security.
“I think that on issues as fundamental as how to protect Social Security, a candidate for President owes it to the American people to tell us where they stand,” said Obama. “Because you’re not ready to lead if you can’t tell us where you’re going.”
