While I assume anyone who receives a Social Security check, including myself, is not happy about it, this has nothing to do with Obama. The cost of living adjustment (COLA) is based on inflation which was negative for this COLA year. It's not and never has been up to the president to decide on the COLA.

The increase is very little but at least it helps a little. Not anymore!
