The AARP, which put itself in the middle of the health care debate by endorsing ObamaCare, now is telling President Obama to keep the group out of his political talking points.
The nation's leading senior advocacy organization objected after the president during Wednesday's debate twice mentioned the AARP while defending his health care plan and attacking Mitt Romney's plans for Medicare. The AARP posted a blog saying that while the group is "grateful" the candidates had a "robust" debate on health care, the organization is not aligned with either candidate.
"While we respect the rights of each campaign to make its case to voters, AARP has never consented to the use of its name by any candidate or political campaign. AARP is a nonpartisan organization and we do not endorse political candidates nor coordinate with any candidate or political party," the group said.

I was listening on the radio last night while driving. The first time he mentioned them I thought I heard him say it as, A_R_P leaving out the 2nd A. Did anyone else notice that or was it just me?
“Every piece of crap I get from AARP lands in the trash,unopened.In future I just might open the stuff and return any postage paid envelope...empty.”
Try doing what I do with those postage paid envelopes — fill the envelope with lunch meat. By the time it gets back to them it will be verrrrrry ripe.
I object to AARP.
Just called AARP and told them they were married to obama. Too late to divorce him this close to the election.
Evidently we're not the only ones who opted out of their wonderful membership plans.
A A R P = ALL ABOUT REID PELOSI
Non-partisan, my ass. The American Association of Greedy Geezers is about as left wing as they come. Look at their recent shenanigans in Florida and long-standing history of supporting liberal buttboys.
Bravo! Couldn’t have said it better myself.
I just might open the stuff and return any postage paid envelope...empty.
I just put the stuff back in the postage paid envelope along with a note why I cancelled my membership.
The Rats are jumping ship!
