Early Thursday morning, Potomac Research Group analyst Greg Valliere predicted that if the debt-ceiling deadline grew closer, President Barack Obama would play his "trump card" in the debate. He would remind seniors that if Congress doesn't raise the debt ceiling, seniors wouldn't get their Social Security checks.
"GOP strategists like Karl Rove surely know that it's just a matter of time before President Obama throws a game-changer — warning senior citizens that their Social Security checks won't be mailed because of John Boehner," Valliere wrote in a note to clients.

And if Obamacare goes into operation, they won't be kept alive long enough to cash them!
EXACTLY! Call their bluff!~....................
As a group, "gramma and gramps" (seniors) voted against Zer0 both times.
I think even tough talkin’ Dusty Harry would fold on that one. He’d scream like a banshee but would call the vote. He was around when Dan Rostenkowski was chased down the street by the senior set!
lol
Send the Senate a CR to fund Social Security. Make Reid say no.
Ted Cruze's brilliance has forced the exponentially dumber Obama to make mistakes. Obama has already totally antagonized seniors with the WW2 monument closure, and now he'd pull a stunt like this? Astounding.
Just what I was thinking.
But I am beginning to more closely realize that Obama really is a lawbreaker, just as so many have been voicing. It finally hit me as reality. Law and logic are not part of this administration’s operational procedures.
Actually, Al Gore put it in a "lockbox".
There, fixed it.
I am wise to you Barry, Harry, Stretch and UpChuckie...we all are. Rot in Hell.
Just don't tell anybody about Palliative care or the DeathPill for Granny...shhhH!!
Loose lips cause Democrats to lose votes.
*If Obama isn’t worried about the terrible calamity, why should I?
He obviously isn’t worried, he refuses to negotiate.*
It must not be a big deal. He refuses to give up his little toy to stop the calamity.
Didn’t he say just the opposite the other day?
...and moved it to Area 51.
Congress will thus be bypassed, and will no longer be needed in the future to fund the vote buying schemes of the social engineering POTUS.
B-b-ut John Roberts proclaimed it a "tax" and taxes cannot be raised except by congress.
Imagine what they can do with healthcare.
And the useless idiots and collaborators in DC think this is just a fun parlor game.
I have communists in my family.
Just sayin'.
Yeah, but that was related to the "continuing resolution", not the "debt ceiling".

Bottom line Bernake.com thinks not.
Just to be safe we should keep the government shut down until both issues are solved. Use the saved cash to pay S/S.
Social Security is money that belongs to the contributors, not the government.
