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

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.

Someone needs to educate me .... I thought that money borrowed from the Social Security Trust fund was replaced with t-bills, IOUs in effect. Is that not correct? And if that is correct wouldn't failure to pay the SS IOUs be a default? thanks in advance.

Seems like Obama will always function at the Senator level, never as the POTUS. We are suppose to trust this guy?

Unfortunately Boehner and McConnell's lines are tied up or I would ask them why they are not calling Democrats on this big lie.

Well, that's what got me. The news has been playing McConnell's quote all morning "as long as this president is in the oval office, a solution is unattainable."

And Marco Rubio was the one who responded to Obama's lie on Rush's show minutes ago.

Boehner called them out this morning that the Dems have still not provided a concrete proposal in the first place to debate.

As fast as this is moving and as vicious as this commie bastard is, I think the Stupid Party is holding their own, at least today.

Surely he meant welfare checks...and stopping these "payments" to those who sit on their butts all day and refuse be drug tested for said payments. Oh, and the "payments" we make to illegal aliens to have free education, healthcare, groceries and rent, right?

Those checks?

What a pitiful joke he is.

I assume that ‘unemployment’ checks would stop as well.....................

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.

Checks go out (received really) on the first and second Wednesday of the month. I get mine on the second wednesday so I guess I am really screwed.

It will backfire. If he delays the checks the retirees will be so scared that they will back any GOP plan to recast social security and cut every other budget line in order to preserve their social security in the future.

Sorry you are wrong. He will do this and the MSM will push very hard that it is the fault of Sarah Palin and the sheeple shall buy it.

Which is why the GOP will cave, and why the country is in deep trouble.

No on will stop entitlements. No elected official can.

That is thinkable!

“O” is a person with just the kind of malice to work it this way. Personally, I think “O” is capable of positively ANYTHING..so long as it does not interfere with his re election.

I can guarantee Barack Obama won’t be re-elected in 2012 and that alone will spare taxpayer trillions of dollars in future debt. When the electorate sees the stunning difference in economic performance between the administration of whichever Republican is elected in 2012 and Barack Obama, they will realize BHO is simply Jimmy Carter redux.

RE :”As fast as this is moving and as vicious as this commie bastard is, I think the Stupid Party is holding their own, at least today.

I did get through to Cantor's office and she said she has received several calls on this, ...and then she started saying she disagrees morally on what Democrats are .......I cut her off and told her that I dont care about that, and that if SS was fully funded and NOT adding a penny to the debt as Democrats keep saying, then how can a debt limit extension have any affect on it?? I told her that I would like Republicans to win for a change. call them out on the big lie!

Plenty of money for his fellow muzzies though:

Obama’s 2009 Supplemental Appropriations for Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Pandemic Flu was revised and “passed by the full committee.” Not sure what the next step is, but based on the summary, it gives billions 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.
http://creepingsharia.wordpress.com/2009/05/13/obamas-supplemental-bill-passes-gives-billions-to-enemies/
Read the summary from David Obey’s 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

• West Bank and Gaza: $665 million in bilateral economic, humanitarian, and security assistance for the West Bank and Gaza

• Jordan: $250 million, $250 million above the request, including $100 million for economic and $150 million for security assistance

• Egypt: $360 million, $310 million above the request, including $50 million for economic assistance, $50 million for border security, and $260 million for security assistance

• Pakistan: $1.9 billion, $591 million above the request

• Iraq: $968 million, $336 million above the request

• Oversight: $20 million, $13 million above the request, to expand oversight capacity of the State Department, USAID, and the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan to review programs in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq

• Lebanon: $74 million

• International Food Assistance: $500 million, $200 million above the request, for PL 480 international food assistance to alleviate suffering during the global economic crisis

• Refugee Assistance: $343 million, $50 million above the request, …including humanitarian assistance for Gaza. Funding for the UN Relief and Works Agency programs in the West Bank and Gaza is limited to $119 million (Note: Gaza = Hamas)

• Disaster Assistance: $200 million to avert famines and provide life-saving assistance during natural disasters and for internally displaced people around the world, including Somalia, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, the Middle East and South Asia

• Peacekeeping: $837 million for United Nations 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 — and then there is Obama’s $108 billion IMF bailout scheme in addition to the Supplemental.
