Obama and prime time (continued)

Thomas Lifson
Senator Obama still isn't ready. Consider this exchange from the Stephanopoulos Sunday show highlighted by Tom Bevan of Real Clear Politics:  

Stephanopoulos: You've also said that with Social Security everything should be on the table.

Obama: Yes.

Stephanopoulos: Raising the retirement age?

Obama: Everything should be on the table.

Stephanopoulos: Raising payroll taxes?

Obama: Everything should be on the table....

Stephanopoulos: Partial privatization?

Obama: Privatization is not something I would consider.
