Cowardice, or indifference.

RE :”I think Obama/Geithner are TRYING to cause this default and will fumble the checks and paying bonds even though they don't have to in order to precipitate a crisis they can blame on the Republicans and Tea Party.

You think that??? , really ??? Sorry ):

Of course he is trying to get seniors to demand Republicans sign on to tax increases so they can get their SS checks. I was predicting this a month ago here.

But Democrats have been on every show for years claiming SS is self funded and is NOT adding a penny to the debt. If it was NOT adding a penny to the debt then how can the debt limit affect it now?

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

Done. I’ve been bookmarking like crazy. Unfortunately, in June many were wiped out due to a virus but plan on backup-flash drive.

Will this nightmare ever end?

A gigantic LIE.

There’s plenty of tax revenue to pay all of our obligations, including Social Security, come August 2nd.

The Republicans need to call him on this immediately. There’s a plan in place by this administration to scare the American people, and by extension the Congress, into submission.

What a petty thug. A guy that stoops to this will do anything, circumstances permitting.

Barak "by any means necessary" obama.

Did he say when he's gonna start killing puppies?

Well, the GOP just needs to take pictures of 0bama and family during their Martha’s Vineyard vacation and send it to all social security recipients.

So the facade of the lockbox which the Dems have claimed to exist forever is going to crumble so easily? There is still supposedly money in the Social Security Trust Fund. I guess that big lie will be exposed at last.

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.

I believe Social Security checks usually go out on 16th of the month. Obama can’t even get that straight.

“...yet the tax payer has funded how many Obama vacations at what cost? This putz has his priorities mixed up.”

That would make a great commercial. Obama and his family living it up while grandma/pa go to empty mailboxes looking for their soc security checks.

Sounds as though The Won is getting scared.

2011 will go down as 0bama's "worst year of my life" memory.

Publicly spanked on international TV and the world stage by Bibi "That's not going to happen" Netanyahu.

Jobs numbers revised downward into oblivion.

Jobless numbers revised upwards through the roof in spite of number-crunchers cooking the books.

Stimulus shown to be as big a failure as 0bama himself.

And now...he is faced with uppity Republicans.

And even daily appearances with puff-ball question FAXed to reporters to lob at him, nobody is buying the BS.

And the elephant in the brain of every taxpayer, $14.3 trillion dollars in debt is not enough? Seriously?

Smell the desperation of someone who has to resort to scaring seniors.

In another two days this asshat will probably threaten to end Senior discounts on early-bird dinners.

How about we not pay Obama, his staff, or his wife’s staff?

Obama never even actually fulfilled the paperwork requirements to get a federal salary. He is literally an undocumented worker.

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America ’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government can not pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America ’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here.’ Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”

— Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006

Once every other nonessential program has been shut down then...

All Professional Politicians should be classified as nonessential. Stop their checks first.

Hmmm. Looks like my SS taxes were paid, just like every month.

So Barry, level with me...where is that money really going?

That’s okay Hussein. Mine isn’t scheduled to go out until August 10th. Not that you’re worried, because you and the First Wookie will likely be gearing up for your vacation on Martha’s Vineyard at that time.

obama’s threat now top story on Drudge.

Repub’s knew this was coming....they should be ready.

obama is threatening to hold most vulnerable in our society (the elderly, the disabled, and veterans) hostage to get his way.

obama has redefined the meaning of the “bully pulpit”.
