Fact Check.Org: Obama Lied

Well, well, lookee here. Fact Check.org calls out President Obama and they don't mince words. They said Obama told a whopper about the GOP stance on Social security. (I think you can add Harry Reid in this whopper lie)
From FactCheck:
Obama’s (Latest) Social Security Whopper: The president claims Republican leaders are as eager to 'privatize' Social Security as they are to repeal his health care law. That's not true.
August 16, 2010
Summary
President Obama claimed that Republican leaders are pushing to make "privatizing Social Security a key part of their legislative agenda" should they regain control of the House and Senate. He said this is "right up there on their to-do list with repealing" parts of the new health care law.
We find the president’s claim to be mostly false.

Further, from FactCheck:
The president said:
Obama, Aug. 14: [S]ome Republican leaders in Congress don’t seem to have learned any lessons from the past few years. They’re pushing to make privatizing Social Security a key part of their legislative agenda if they win a majority in Congress this fall. It’s right up there on their to-do list with repealing some of the Medicare benefits and reforms that are adding at least a dozen years to the fiscal health of Medicare – the single longest extension in history.
That’s mostly false. It’s simply not true that the Republican leadership of either the House or the Senate is currently pushing to allow any portion of Social Security taxes — let alone all Social Security taxes — to be invested in the stock market. Only one House member who could be characterized as a GOP "leader" — Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin — is currently voicing public support for limited, voluntary private accounts for workers age 55 and under.
(Emphasis mine)
Even if Sharron Angle wanted to privatize parts of social security, she wouldn't get very far with the GOP leadership.
So, Obama and the Democrats are just flat out lying when they complain about the GOP trying to privatize Social Security (though I do support some privatization of Social security)
Unfortunately, some elderly people believe the Dem's and their lies.
