Weekly Address: President Obama Promises to Protect Social Security from Republican Plans to Privatize It
WASHINGTON – On the 75th anniversary of Social Security being signed into law, President Obama promised that he would protect it from the Republican leaders in Congress who have made privatization a key part of their agenda. Despite the financial crisis, they still believe that gambling Social Security on Wall Street is a good idea. This President will not let that happen. For several generations, Social Security has been a promise to America’s seniors – that they will have the chance to retire with dignity – and he will safeguard that promise. The audio and video of the address will be available online at www.whitehouse.gov at 6:00 am ET, Saturday, August 14, 2010
