BECKLEY -- Leaders of veterans groups met with administration officials Tuesday to discuss what is at stake if Congress cannot come to a consensus.
President Obama has said that if a default occurs, the administration will be forced to prioritize who gets paid.
That means those receiving veterans benefits, social security, unemployment insurance, tuition grants, food stamps, and child care subsidies may be forced to compete for coverage.
If that happens, and we default, we would not have enough money to pay all of our bills bills that include monthly Social Security checks, veterans benefits, and the government contracts weve signed with thousands of businesses, said the President.
Each day without a deal, veterans at the Raleigh County Commission on Aging worry whether their check will come in the mail next month.
The fact that the President comes out and threatens to take away our social security checks and not pay the veterans is despicable, said David Hern, a veteran fought in Korea.

waiting for the Obama press conference with kittens held over a mincer, cant be too far off, he’s getting close to the “do what i want or the kitty gets it”.
You don’t see him cutting any of his so called “Zars”, nor Mooooooooooochelle dropping any of her many “assistants”.
I too loath that little SOB (Buckwheat) and can’t wait for the day he is gone.
BILLIONS FOR JIHAD!
Obamas 2009 Supplemental Appropriations for Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Pandemic Flu was revised and passed by the full committee.
It gives billions http://creepingsharia.wordpress.com/2009/05/13/obamas-supplemental-bill-passes-gives-billions-to-enemies/
of U.S. taxpayer dollars to countries and entities that support Sharia law and/or harbor, hide and support those who want to destroy the U.S. and our allies.
Read the summary from David Obeys office that was quietly released last week with nary a word from any media.
$3.6 billion, matching the request, to expand and improve capabilities of the Afghan security forces
$400 million, as requested, to build the counterinsurgency capabilities of the Pakistani security forces
Afghanistan: $1.52 billion, $86 million above the request

peacekeeping operations, including an expanded mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and a new mission in Chad and the Central African Republic
Department of Justice: $17 million, matching the request, for counter-terrorism activities and to provide training and assistance for the Iraqi criminal justice system
The mainstream media remains silent on this but the International News has now picked up the story http://www.thenews.com.pk/top_story_detail.asp?Id=22164
and then there is Obamas $108 billion IMF bailout scheme http://michellemalkin.com/2009/05/13/obamas-100-billion-imf-bailout-scheme/
in addition to the Supplemental.
And THIS is what Obama is doing to American taxpayers:

O = CHICKEN LITTLE!!!
And the rest of us are headed to the lair of Foxy Loxy.
If our S-head president stiffs social security payments, veterans payments, etc., advertising should point out clearly to the seniors and vets who screwed them.
I think it would be S-head’s worst political decision ever.
I have come to hate not only obama, but thode who voted for him as well.
The lying sack of sh** knows he won’t have to cut those services.
That post should be available for free to EVERY TEA party candidate in the country next fall!!!!!!!!
FIRST, you stop paying Reps. and Senators and their staff. Many of them are wealthy on their own. Most of them love queers though, they’re usually refered to as democRATS. See what we’ve come too??
All I can say to the President is I Dare You! Go ahead and cut Vet and SS benifits. It’s your call!
Summoned? Was this so that He could speak unto them?
It's time to really start pushing that line. THEY are the ones that are responsible, why not start eliminating their checks first?!
Right. Cut where it hurts and is most visible. BUT, overlook all the waste, duplication, mismanagement, nepotism, fraud and malfaesance, etc. in the administration of unnecessary and gratuitous entitlements!!
What a guy!!!
He’s evil.
That said, survey after survey has found that people aren’t blaming him for any of this, even though it would be his personal decision to cut things like veteran’s benefits and Social Security.
And, sadly, the Republicans probably won’t do the type of advertising campaign that would be necessary to make people wake up - the GOP is too busy having the usual internecine warfare to spend any time fighting the real enemy, Obama. Also, of course, Obama owns the press, so any news that comes out about this is so skewed to support him that it’s no wonder people are confused.
If he does go ahead and do this, there has got to be some way to make it very clear to the public that it was his decision and his choice to do so (heck, even many of the Dems don’t want it).
Remember, Citizen...
nobama hates you, hates your family, hates Free America, hates Americans, hates the Constitution and hates the Bill of Rights. nobama is a hate crime foisted upon America. nobama is the Destroyer.
Everything nobama does is intentional.
God help us all.
Notice he didn’t call the UN in and tell them the same thing.
Wonder if all the welfare money will go out on time?
The people will be forced to determine who remain alive.
Threats go both ways
There is a day of reckoning coming soon and I fear that it will not be pretty.
Obama threatens cutting benefits for veterans but not Planned Parenthood. What a despicable creature.
