Death more like it.

President Obama has issued his debt threat: No Social Security for you! Unless the Rethugs agree to raise the debt ceiling by August 2, Obama is threatening to withhold SS checks. That's right, Mr. President, make an empty threat designed to scare seniors sh*tless, in order to get your way! Such leadership! So, is this brilliant political strategy or irresponsible scare tactics?

Here are Obama’s thoughts on the debt limit in 2006, when he voted against increasing the ceiling:

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 U.S. Government can’t 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.

If no deal by Aug. 2, Obama can't guarantee won't allow Social Security checks to go out.

The boy needs a big win over the GOOBERS on the debt ceiling in order to get reelected. Screw the Americans. He's a Kenyan and could care less about old, American fogies and their Social Security checks.

During President Reagan's years, the libs ceaselessly claimed old people were forced to eat cat food.

We need to push the message that under Obama, old people can't afford to eat cat food!

[The DUAC Militia is drilling as we speak. In an undisclosed location somewhere on Skins's Island, the primitives are applying war paint and sharpening their sticks. Drums are beating rhythmically, as campfires are being lit. "Re-vo-LU-tion, re-vo-LU-tion," the drums call out. . . .]

Just for you.

Lot of people saying social security payments come out of the general fund, not a special/separate fund. Boehner has also just said so on FoxNews. So it looks like the elderly and disbled will be crap out of luck in a couple more weeks. Maybe obama will put all of them in a football stadium ala Nagin.

I’ll see your OASDI and raise you a FICA.

He is a damn fool for pulling this one out of his hip pocket. It will hang over his head until he is no longer the President and thereafter as well. It could damage the Democratic party as a whole in fact! What a freakin fool he is. ENOUGH OF THE CRAP ALREADY MR. PRESIDENT!!!!!!!

[CRAP AND TIRADE!]

LOL Charles!!

I'll soon be able to get back into more DUFUing. Last two days been running on almost no sleep. However, I have developed methods to coupon much more efficiently which means less time for that and more for the DUFUs. Also I note that politics is now heating up bigtime and more DUFU material available. Notice how the DUmmies are pretty much avoiding the cave by Gov. Dayton of MN?

p.s. At least one other Freeper has discovered how to get free gas via coupons. I'll give you a hint. A former PINGEE.

What do the tax cuts have to do with the deficit? EVERYTHING. They caused the deficit.

Let's see......

$14 Trillion in debt

$70 Billion in revenue lost due to tax cuts (Dem statistic, still don't believe that number)

Ahhh, yes! $14 Trillion = $70 Billion ------ Bush's Fault!

And until the whole Wisconsin thing went down, I never HEARD of the Koch Brothers. Now Koch Brothers are the new Halliburton!!!
