What?Are you blaming Obama for a recession that started a few months before his presidency? Do his evil gangster-communist powers transcend time and space now? Sorry to piss in your Cheerios, but George W. Bush riding on Ronald Reagan's shoulders like a conservative Master-Blaster couldn't have averted that crisis (but I'm sure our two wars and drastic tax cuts were helpful in preparing us to deal with it).

It is also a fact that record numbers of baby boomers are retiring and, quite simply, dying.
Boomers are dying in record numbers??? Really???
Yes, we are all getting up there in years. If they are retiring does it matter why? That is their choice, is it not?
I suspect many boomers would like to work, but can't find jobs.
