CBS: Obama says he cannot guarantee Social Security checks will go out on August 3
CBS NEWS ^ | 7-12-11 | Corbett Daily

Posted on 07/12/2011 10:45:43 AM PDT by tcrlaf

President Obama on Tuesday said he cannot guarantee that retirees will receive their Social Security checks August 3 if Democrats and Republicans in Washington do not reach an agreement on reducing the deficit in the coming weeks.

"I cannot guarantee that those checks go out on August 3rd if we haven't resolved this issue. Because there may simply not be the money in the coffers to do it," Mr. Obama said in an interview with CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley, according to excerpts released by CBS News.

OK, I dont know where this is going but not optimistic. Republicans have a incredible lack of imagination.

I'm afraid so too. But it's possible that with the new media and with Rush and Levin and Steyn and VDH and Goldberg and others playing offensive coordinator and calling plays into key players like Rubio, that maybe, just maybe, the GOP QBs and recievers might actually convert this time?

Obama is pure evil, and his strings are being pulled by others. It is hard to climb into an evil mind, as we don’t think evil thoughts.

REQUEST FOR URGENT FUNDS AUTHORIZATION

First, I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction. This is by virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and ‘top secret’.
You as American taxpayers and aging citizens have been recommended by an associate (’Tim X.’) who assured me in confidence of your ability and reliability to prosecute a transaction of great magnitude involving a pending business transaction requiring maximum confidence.
We are top officials of the US Federal Government who are interested in further investments with funds which are presently trapped in a `lockbox.’ In order to commence this business we solicit your assistance to enable us transfer into your account the said trapped funds. Make no mistake about it. It is not our desire to harm you in any way by depriving you of food, shelter or clothing. Or medicines.

The source of this fund is as follows: During the last few years, the Government officials set up companies and awarded themselves contracts which were grossly over-invoiced in various ministries.
The present government set up a Contract Review Panel and we have identified a lot of inflated contract funds which are presently floating in the Federal Reserve System ready for payment.
However, by virtue of our position as civil servants and members of this panel, we cannot acquire this money in our names. I have therefore, been delegated by my other colleagues in the panel to look for an overseas partner into whose account we would transfer to you the sum of US$21,500,000.00.
Hence we are making this appeal to you.

We have agreed to share the money thus:

1. 20% for the account owner, you

2. 70% for us [ Myself and other members of my panel ]

3. 10% to be used in settling taxation and all local and foreign expenses direct or incidental to the execution of this transaction.

It is from the 70% that we wish to commence the continued investments in various enterprises. Please let me be clear, note that this transaction is 100% safe and we hope to commence the transfer latest Ten (10) banking days from the date of the receipt of the following information: Your name, Address, Telephone, certain Financial numbers, your signatures as co-guarantors and Fax number.

The above information will enable us to write letters of claim. This way we will use your name to apply for payment. We are looking forward to doing this business with you and solicit your confidentiality in this transaction.

Please acknowledge the receipt of this letter using the above Email address.

I will bring you into the complete picture of this pending project when I have heard from you.

Remember this is a Deal so treat with utmost confidentiality.

Yours faithfully,

Barack Hussein Obama

Here for one:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) declared earlier this month: “Social Security is a program that works, and it’s going to be — it’s fully funded for the next 40 years. Stop picking on Social Security.”

From this article in January 2011

"Actually no. UI is a state liability. The initial period is paid by the companies. Only the super long 99 week extensions are offset by federal programs. "

Quite a few people are on those extensions, though you are correct, the state issues the check.

Evil, yes. Controlled, yes. And it’s time we stood up and let the world know just what he is. In every conversation, every opportunity. This is way over the top for an elected “leader” of the nation. It shows how he doesn’t lead, he divides.

RE :” ”Democrats have been claiming on every single TV/political show that SS is fully self funded and is NOT adding a dime to the deficit or debt. So how can the debt limit have any bearing on these SS payments?”... I don't recall this being said (of course, listening to Democrats is like listening to fingernails on chalkboard, so I could easily have missed it).

They might not say that today but yesterday worried about SS cuts in an Obama deal they claimed this on almost EVERY MSNBC show from 5pm to 11 pm even LAST night,

MSNBC LIVE WITH CENK UYGUR(Don`t let Republicans take Social Security's $2.5 trillion surplus) 2/9/11

The MSNBC Ed (Schultz) Show (’Republicans want Wall Street to get the $2.6 trillion SS surplus’) 1/27/11

If Republicans were worth a crap they would ask Obama (on TV dramically) why he isnt using the $2.5 Trillion dollar surplus instead of borrowing the money for SS payments, or instead of cutting off the checks. That is why I posted the above transcripts HERE!.

Is Obozo telling Americans far and wide across the fruited plane, that their Social Security checks are not being paid out of the lock box, but instead Uncle Sam has to BORROW the money to pay the seniors? ISN'T that what he is saying? Come on now Republicans you have been good today on making statements, GET ON THIS ONE.

It is all a lie anyway, but nevertheless the GOP should be calling him on this since there is no media left.

Obama was a “criminal disruptor” with ACORN.

He is still a criminal.

I’ve been threatened on here for saying SS has to end.

No threats here; just have them refund my contributions plus the prevailing rates of interest over those 50+ years, minus what I've collected so far.

I'll put most of it into downpayments on a couple of well located apartment buildings that will keep me comfortable for life, and be a legacy for my grandkids.

This statement by the President should scare the hell out of Democrats. What he is doing now is to ensure that Democrats don’t get re-elected to office, including himself.

In my wildest imagination would I EVER believe the President of the United States could stoop this low. I hope he pays for this stunt in 2012.
