Nice deflection Koan... typical though I accept that you don't think Obama is a liberal. I see it differently... He is a weak liberal incapable of leadership. The reality is that any liberal of your choice couldn't have done any differently given the current political climate.

I am trying to discuss extending lifespans and the impact on SS and medicare. How a system can function with 30 years of contributions and 100s of years of withdrawals per individual? But, I am interested in what you promised.... that liberals have a solution to the increasing lifespans and that impact on the financial viability of SS and Medicare. As far as I can tell, Democrats are offering no solution of any kind. Do liberals have such a solution? And does it involve more that raising taxes on the rich?
