WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama raised the stakes in the third straight day of budget talks on Tuesday by warning that senior citizens and veterans may suffer first if the debt ceiling is not raised by August 2. The comments came as top Republicans toughened their stance in the deficit reduction talks. Hours before heading to the White House, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said a "real solution" to the U.S. debt problem was unlikely while Obama was in office.

Did the MSM get any file footage on Boehner playing gold with Obama? They can edit Obama out and show him playing gold while the SS checks get spiked by Obama.

I don’t view these as “fear tactics”. I view them as threats. As I have said, a President doesn’t threaten his own people. Note that he has not mentioned “Welfare Checks”. He won’t hurt his people.

” Do we not need the House of Representatives, the Senate, the Judiciary or any other representative body to decide and take action “

Evidently not...

Who’s holding a gun to the taxpayers’ heads now, Mr. President?

Obama has pissed off both seniors and veterans. His disdain for anyone who questions him has finally blown up in his face. Call him melba.

Obama's warning that senior citizens -- an active voting group -- could suffer first if a deal is not reached could give lawmakers a nudge ahead of 2012 elections...or maybe not - according to the three other seniors sitting with me in the PT waiting area this afternoon.
They just announced they're not sending out Social Security checks in August, said the lady. I started to shake my head, thinking she had bought the scam.
They're lying, said one of the guys.
The money's there, they just want to borrow another trillion from China, said the other.
They think we're stupid, said the lady.

Maybe the 'rats' bag of political tricks is finally running on empty.....

The GOP should take this deal to close hundreds of billions in loopholes and eliminate tax expenditures, not raising marginal rates, to get trillions in cuts. I don’t give a fig who gets credit frankly if this country is put back on stable fiscal footing.

Notice how our “American?” president want to take money from American Seniors? God forbid that we didn't give money to the UN, the Palestinians or other liberal causes! On who's side is Obama anyway?
