Obama Tries To Scare The Bejesus Out Of Grandma, Says August’s Social Security Checks Might Not Go Out Unless GOP Caves On Debt Deal
Fear mongering just kicked into overdrive.
(CBS News) — 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.
The Obama administration and many economists have warned of economic catastrophe if the United States does not raise the amount it is legally allowed to borrow by August 2.
Lawmakers from both parties want to use the threat of that deadline to work out a broader package on long-term deficit reduction, with Republicans looking to cut trillions of dollars in federal spending, while Democrats are pushing for a more “balanced approach,” which would include both spending cuts and increased revenue through taxes.
Mr. Obama told Pelley “this is not just a matter of Social Security checks. These are veterans checks, these are folks on disability and their checks. There are about 70 million checks that go out.”

Yes and if an agreement is not reached soon, monkies will fly out of my ass.
Eat a sh*t sammich with your peas, loser.
F*CK OFF!
I hope the sponge heads that voted for a free hand out remember this and how quick it can be taken away. The sad part is that most people that voted for the hand outs have a day to day mentality and a complete lack of foresight.
Create a demon out of your own short comings.
Instead of cutting payments to the old folks, how about we close the Dept. of Energy and the Dept. of Education for a while. That would work and those two agencies haven’t accomplished a dern thing since they were created. There are better options and the Republicans need to advertise them.
demonicrats scaring useful idiots 24-7-365
And who got us here you incompetent jackasses? I swear this is the worst President ever! A complete idiot!
http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/07/debt_ceiling_worst_case_scenario.html
I linked this American Thinker article by Randall Hoven earlier today. It is a must read. There is no reason that the federal government can not meet the debt interest payments, social security obligations and pay all our troops and vets if the debt ceiling is not raised. The money is there to do it.
barry (aka obama) is an enemy of the American people. He is a fraud, an impostor, a malignant narcissist of the worst order.
And Zip, the picture is perfect!
I’ll bet Acorn, Planned Parenthood, and NPR will be sure to get their August checks, though.
And if Obummer actually shut down the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency, September’s tax revenues would start skyrocketing as the energy sector goes back to work.
It seems OBOZO really wants to start a revolution.If he keeps spewing this kind of crap he will be in deep, deep DoDo.
Maybe he should have thought about that before he flushed a trillion $ down the commode with Porkulus.
So let me see if I understand this, we will be forced to withhold SS and VA payments, but won’t need to cut foreign aid payments to Pakistan, Egypt and yes China? We can send Billions to Brazil to drill for oil but not here in the US. This is like the state of Maryland always threatening to cut police, fire fighters and teachers if they can’t get a tax increase passed… Government is out of control.
Complains about the ‘wealthy’, but will throw retirees and others to the wolves before he touches govt union 6-figure paychecks…
“this is not just a matter of Social Security checks. These are veterans checks….”
The first group he threatens to cut off are veterans.
PURE. EVIL!
This guy should not even be President because of all the things he has done out of what the constitution spells out the executive branch is allowed to do.
>Democrats are pushing for a more “balanced approach,” which would include both spending cuts and increased revenue through taxes
and what cuts might that be? the weather bureau?
what? i NEVER hear of cuts the dems are willing to make. NEVER except to defense.
Whatta bunch of BS….the dems do this for years and years, every since I can remember and I’m no spring chicken…not raising the debt ceiling has nothing to do with entitlement issues..the repubs better fight back and make that loud and clear, call Obama the liar he is…mince no words!
Only way that could happen is if Obama ordered it so…and trust me, hell hath no fury against O/Soros Team.
And the republitards will let him get away w/his spewing. So far I have only seen Bachmann saying “no, it’s not true, the money is there.”
You gotta admit he never underestimates the stupidity of Americans.
Extortion! F’in’ extortion from Ospender. Where was Smelley’s nose when Obama farted this? Did he ask a good followup or just pause the interview so he could inhale Chicago air?
That is an utter LIE Obama speaks about “social security checks might not go out….”– those checks were guaranteed by authority of Congress, years ago– & signed into law by previous Presidents– he simply hasn’t the power or authority (without Congressional act) to suggest such outrageous things– he is definitely in full scare-mongering mode– he obviously would have NO moral self-restraint to yell “FIRE” in a crowded theater if it served his personal interest and agenda– this guy is a LOOSE CANNON.
SS, VA payments are entitlements. They will not be effected. And they are deposited on the 1st of the month nor the 3rd.
Barry is a lying scumbag.
It is called “EXTORTION.”
Boy, this is really getting interesting. Instead of cutting all the raises that he gave the WH staff or other non-essential personnel within the wasteful government, he would rather watch the elderly and our brave American Veterans suffer so he can make his point? What a piece of work this guy is. If you didn’t believe he was EVIL before, you should now. This guy will do absolutely anything to keep the government gravy train running. He is a truly despicable human being. I’m still trying to get my head around the fact that he would actually make people suffer to further his agenda. Wow.
I fear this is not going to end well for any of us. He would do ANYTHING to maintain his power. Believe it. He really really really needs to go. It HAS to be before 2012. The US will not survive the rest of his term. How long until he pulls a Syria on his own people? I wouldn’t be surprised at all.
You and the wookie pay them , you corrupt p.o.s. you have probably stolen more money than the govt. has anyway….
Hey bin Ubama I am on SS, but guess what. Keep my check you worthless lying POS. Threats and extortion against me and other retirees won’t help your cause one effing bit! You are the worst effing president in the history of this Great Country.
YOU DO NOT SPEAK FOR ME YOU INEPT, INCOMPETENT, NARCISSITIC LYING POS!
I also hope the “Welfare” checks don’t go out also.,,,,Man the Bingo Halls,will be hurtung….not to mention the conveinent markets that sell all those lottery tickets and cigarettes!!!!…Sooooo sick of this terrorist destroying this great country. When does Abuse of Power…kick in to impeach this slime?
A lot of older Americans don’t have cable or internet. They watch the network news. Those people will never know that the president has other options beside cutting off their checks. Democrat thug tactics at work.
The Golden Oldie…….
LSOS.
I can think of things I’d like him to eat rather than peas.
You fear mongering asshole threatening to cut off SS checks…how about someone cuts off your balls…oh that’s right you don’t have any!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
^^ Hey big boy! Call me!
Indict. Impeach. Imprison. Deport.
They cleaned out the Social Security trust fund by taking all the cash to spend on things the Federal government is not empowered to do under the U.S. Constitution. Now they threaten to withhold Social Security checks this month. These clowns are playing with fire. Taxpayers could respond by refusing to pay federal taxes. Then what??
Hitler to like to wave his arms and shout into the micraphone a lot and so dose castro as well
Man he is desperate to start Ramadan isn`t he.
Keep up the thug tactics bozo – it`s not helping your re-election campaign one little bit. Stamp your stick insect legs all you like – you`re just showing the world what a whiney pu$$y you really are.
@Bee1,
The polls will tell very soon. I hope this blows up in his face.
Boy does that man love to hold the poor hostage.
I hope to G@# the Right doesn’t cave in to this mans threats?
I’m so sick of Obama.. I’m telling you I will not make it till 2013. This man is going to be in the end of me.
I’m going to get high blood pressure before his gone and then be denied HealthCare ..
Why isn’t he in Jail for the Gun Walker and circumventing the Constitution?
I swear to G@# I’m going to lose it today.

Is that covered under obamacare? May want to check it out.
I on the other hand feel like I’ve been ass-raped by an African Bull Elephant.
Ground Air Force One from flying fund-raiser to fund raiser and you could send out SS checks for the next ten tears.
0bama and the Dimocrats are showing their true agenda. Keeping the looters and moochers dependent on their monthly allowance and expanding nanny gubmint. A military retired check is earned and is not an entitlement. 0bama has spent more time on the golf course than I did at home or with my family during a 28 month period.
Cut off all the sorry mother fukers drawing “dissability” checks that really are able to work and you will be well on your way to solving some of the problem. I would bet about everyone who visits here knows of some p.o.s. drawing a check and not a damn thing wrong with them! Sorry bastards are stealing our children and grand childrens money! They sleep all day, party all night and the govt. wipes their sorry asses. They sell their prescription medication that we pay for to buy booze and illegal drugs. They never contibute anything and take everything…….start with their worthless asses! And I don’t mean folks who really aren’t able to work. We know who they are and they know who they are.
I thought the money was secured by bonds in a special place that is protected by an armed china man……or some shit.
Obama ODed on goof gas
He hates the American people. His first choice is to threaten SS recipient. Come on Repub. Call the Oturd out with some passion in your words………..
I don’t know about anyone else, but that bit recently (yesterday?) about *the American public knows jack shit and just leave it to us “professional politicians” to do what is right for everyone* enraged me no end.
EVERY DAY this O-cialist says or does something else to make Americans hate him – he’s like the Mooslums: every single day they do their *thing*, and every single day the *Fresh Prince of Bill Ayers* does his…
CPT Kickass, what happened to the Social Security lock back where our SS payment was supposed to be deposited into????? Oh, wait a minute, YOU and your DIMs have been raiding it for years to payoff all your special program and stuck worthless IOUs into the lockbox… like a cheap PONZI scheme…
If this were a company’s pension and you’re the CEO, you’d be in JAIL for fraud!!!!!!!!
PATHETIC!!!!!!!
Attention GOP:
Obama just handed you the White House and Congress. Call his bluff. Walk away from the negotiations. DO NOT RAISE THE DEBT CEILING. Make Obama stop those Social Security checks and see how long he lasts.
YOU HAVE JUST WON!
Don’t blow it now!
the illegal muslim ursurping treasonous FRAUD-rides again!
@Ohio is right! The checks will be in the SS and VA recipients’ accounts on the 1st, so then there will be a whole month to deal with the budget before the next check/deposits need to be made.
I am a 100% disabled veteran,and I am not afraid of you, Barry! I’ve got food storage and friends. Go ahead, don’t send me my check, I can easily survive until you’re out of office in 2013. I call your bluff, a$$hole!
No Granny……….
without a Debt Ceiling Increase Deal………..
0BAMA and the DEMocRATS will have to decide what programs are essential and which are not……..
IN OTHER WORDS……..
IF THE SOCIAL SECURITY CHECKS DON’T GO OUT ON AUGUST 1…….zer0 IS THE “ONE” THAT DECIDED THAT OLD PEOPLE DON’T NEED THEIR CHECKS.
Think Barry is trying to commit suicde by citizen?
Instead of a list of checks that WON’T go out…how ’bout a list of checks that WILL go out???? You know for sure that ACORN, NPR, Planned Parenthood, the UAW, Mexico, all those other “special interest” groups, they’ll get their checks. Guaranteed.
Debt ceiling is a scam: more at 11
@KAT – I too am a veteran and retired – and also have food and friends – there are are lot more of us that they think and we’re f’in fed up with being pushed around and treated like shit by these “new order assholes”.
As for B.O. – “Do you feel lucky punk? Do you? Go ahead, make my day!!”
Chutzpah-in-Chief…
President Donates $100 Billion to the United Nations Posted
The U. S. State Department yesterday announced that the Obama Administration has agreed to contribute $4 billion to the United Nations Global Fund to fight AIDs, Tuberculosis, and Malaria from 2011 to 2013.
The $4 billion represents a 38% increase over the previous U.S. commitment to the fund.

And if the Republicans had any balls, they’d point out that Barry will ensure that the welfare checks roll out just fine.
No wonder Whitey Bulger was willing to be captured even he couldn’t take it anymore and he was a professional gangster Barry is just a wannabe.
If the debt limit is not increased, who decides which checks might be sent out?
Boehner? Liar “danged fence” McCain? Palin? Rush? Bud Selig?
No, by golly, it would be Barak Hussein Obama (Hmmm,hmmm, hmmm!!!) and his finance guy who determine who gets the checks. If the checks are not sent to the old and ill, guess He will have to accept the blame. Isn’t this accepting an awesome responsibility for the subversive-in-chief who prefers to vote “present.” ???
present…..what was the question?
corporate jets,potholes,ice cream
I am retired after working for 50 years paying into my SS retirement. He is threatening my very existence. But I am really at the point that I would forfeit everything to call this jerk’s bluff.
Withhold retirees and vets benefits and see what it gets you Bambi boy.
Please do not cave on this republicans. Hold firm to your commitment to limit this man’s ability to spend more of our money.
I am an American and I will suffer if it is for the good of the country and the benefit of my children and grandchildren to have a decent life and not become serfs to the elites.
one word “IMPEACH!!”
