Did Barack Obama have one of those unwelcome political moments when the harsh reality of truth accidentally spills out when he said he couldn’t assure Social Security recipients that their checks would be mailed in August unless he got the debt ceiling increase he wanted?
Possibly.
Because, the facts are that although there is a specific Social Security trust fund in which Social Security taxes are tabulated, and the government reports there is a $2.7 trillion balance in that account, the taxes go into and the retirement and disability checks come straight out of the nation’s general fund.
That circumstance has prompted U.S. Rep. Bill Posey, R-Fla., to propose, along with half a dozen other House members, legislation that would make certain the payments to senior citizens are made in a timely manner.
The president’s comment came during an appearance recently on CBS.

Obama's Utopia
Barack Obama's hand-picked regime has 11 steps in bringing a total fascist, police state to the United States:

"Everything Obama does comes straight from the most stilted and destructive clichés of the left. The man has never had an original idea in his life, and wouldn't recognize one if it were served up on a plate with arugula. He is intellectually locked in concrete."
DEAR *TaterSalad*:
I LOVE YOUR COMMENT, ABOUT "THE ANOINTED ONE" BEING "INTELLECTUALLY LOCKED IN CONCRETE".
DOES THAT TRANSLATE INTO:
"A HARD HEAD MAKES A SOFT BUTT"(????).
First, Obama wants fear to produce chaos.
Second, don;t listen to anything Obama says, WATCH WHAT HE DOES!
Liberty, With Obozo, our Liar in chief, there is one sure way to know if he is lying….if his lips are moving..he is lying!!
He probably has no understanding of what it would do to this country if he in fact dictatorially porevents SS checks from being sent, but then again, he most likely don't care! If he can help destroy this country that way, it's fair game for him!
He has commited numerous felonies while in office, and Congress approves!! The fraudulent birth certificate, is a FELONY, attacking another country without congressional approval is a FELONY. Donating money to a US listed terrorist org..is TREASON, he gave Hamas, so listed by the US 20.3 million, that is TREASON! He has 80% destroyed this country in 2 years, can he finish the job in another 2?
Don't forget using a stolen SS# is also a felony!
That is another ruling that MUST be changed! How can one man, the Treasurer & the President
make this momentous decision without congressional approval? Especially since these funds
have been forceabily obtained from the working citizens. If the social security funds had been held
in a trust fund, as we were told they would be, and not given to anyone but the seniors, we would
have plenty of money to retire on. Why isn't Obama cutting back on welfare programs? We all
know that is the voting block he is counting on, that and illegals and foreign voters. Most of his
voters would never spend time like we do, daily, to search out the truth. They just take his lying
speeches as gospel.
When they talk of entitlements , they speak only of Social Security paid to Senior citizens , never mentioning the entitlements they hand to illegal aliens. The politicians, using taxpayer funds.,give all types of aid to illegals, but fail to mention the cost of supporting the people, who crossed our border,and never paid one dime into Americas coffers. The high cost of entitlements is attributed to Senior Citizens who DID pay taxes and contributed to Social Security. I am sick of all politicians .whose only quest is to get reelected so they can keep riding the gravy train. Term Limits are needed and soon!
There have been so many different opinions on this issue, the elderly don't know what to believe. Since the SS Trust Fund has been stolen by Congress since the 60's the only thing it contains is a bunch of IOU's. So while it is true that when we run out of money there will be no funds to pay SS, it is also true that Obama would not dare let that happen. He knows there would be riots in the streets and he could kiss his chances of re-election goodbye. Thay are very adept at "accounting schemes" that will allow them to avoid default and pay all the bills because Obama will not tolerate his legacy being the ONLY leader of the free world to allow his country to collapse.
Tell Bob did we read the same facts or are you just making up your own?
(the government reports there is a $2.7 trillion balance in that account,)
It seems to me that the 14 trillion that is missing is the only IOU's but for all concerned their is still enough in there that would last years if not at least all our years.So what say you obumer lover is he the next in line to steal from OUR money?
This SOB would do anything to get his way. He is a spoiled child trying to play the part of an adult. He said he was in the room and wanted to dance but there wasn't anybody to dance with. Well, here's my suggestion Mr. Obama. Grab your wife and dance right out of the White House across DC and on to the nearest boat or plane that takes you out of this country and back to your native Kenya. And don't let the door hit you in the butt when you leave.
RIGHT ON, VIOLET(!!!!).
MY SENTIMENTS, EXACTLY.
I wish he would go away and never come back. He has caused so much havoc to America in a short time, that it will take years to recover. I pray that US citizens ,use their vote in 2012 to evict him and his Tsars from the White House.
The same would-be dictator who twisted arms behind closed doors to get Obamacare enacted against the expressed will of nearly 3/4 of the American people now expects us to tolerate his using the elderly and the disabled as pawns for blackmail in his game of politics. It's time for the Supreme Court to rediscover their spinal column, do their job and force this usurper OUT…where's the VALID birth certificate?
The "injustices" at SCOTUS are traitors. They all know he is illegal, so they are complicit in his crimes.
Victoria DeLacy- Don't you know our dictator is covered on every side?
Having regained the Republican majority in Congress as of last November (or at least the following January when the new folks took office), it seems inexcusable to me that Obama continues to get away with everything. We now have a legislative body capable of doing something about stopping him and they continue (metaphorically like Nero and Rome) to fiddle while America burns. Where are both the conscience and the spinal column of our elected officials?
Obama's only goal is to bankrupt America. This is why he want to raise the debt. Everyone in Congress knows Obama is a fraud. They know he is a criminal and not for America. This is why all ObamA can think about is the upcoming election and not the American people. He wants control just like Hitler. Lives are being destroyed but Obama doesn't give a rats A–. WE MUST GET RID OF OBAMA ONE WAY OR ANTHER. HOW CAN HE RUN FOR PRESIDENT AGAIN WITH SO MANY FELONIES AND FRAIUD HANGING OVER HIS HEAD THAT ALL OF CONGRESS IS TOO AFRAID TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT? WE MUST DEMAND PROOF AND INVESTIGATION OF HIS PHONY BIRTH CERTIFICATE. MAKE HIM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE PHONY STOLEN SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER HE USES. MAKE HIM SHOW ALL HIS RECORDS. THIS WILL PUT HIM OUT OF THE RACE.
I HATE THIS SLIMY OBAMA SO MUCH I WOULD LOVE TO SEE SOMEONE SLAM A HAMMER OVER HIS HEAD. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE HIS SMALL BRAIN SMEARWED OVER PAYMENT. I MEAN I HAVE NEVER HATED ANYONE MORE THAN I DO OBAMA. I HOPE HE DIES
He lies so easily and with a straight face. Who believes him anymore?
WITH THIS PROBLEM THAT THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION IS CREATING AT THE PRESENT TIME WITH ALL OF THE OTHER ACTIVEVITIES AND WRONG DOINGS THAT OBAMA AND HIS CROONIES HAVE COMMITED IT WOULD BE IDEAL FOR THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTIVES TO START IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS AND GET RID OF THE WHOLE PROBLEM AT ONE TIME.
The head of our country likes to hold seniors hostage so he can get rid of us. IS HE A U.S. CITIZEN will we ever know? AMERICA WAKE UP or we will be like Russia use to be.
obama is a very vindictive person and if he doesn't get his own way, the social security and other checks will may not go out. But he will insure that money will go to pay alms to radical islamist around the world by rebuilding nd repairing mosques in some of the wealthiest countries in the world-including countires that forbid worship by Christians and Jews and other non-muslims.
Congressman: While I know that according the the Bible that our economy will be in positive numbers by next February, 2012; I also know that the gatherers(women and blacks) will go out in mass numbers next fall and bring in a total Marxist government takeover of America in November! The hunters(men) will have no possible say in the matter! Maybe Adam didn'y have a chance, uh? But then, I know that Hebrew Elohim Yahweh(YHWH) is actually in control for HIS devine purpose and not Lucifer! No? Watch! p.s. You out there know that Hebrew is the only inspired language(Zeph. 3:9, Acts 26:14, 1 Cor. 4:6) and not even Greek, Latin, or English, right? Watch!
Our congresspersons are nothing but cowards! So many people want him impeached,almost %100
of comments on the internet favor impeachment.
Why is nothing done? Can it possibly be because he is not entirely of the white race?
This has crossed my mind. Has it yours?
Does anyone really want the government to increase the DEBT LIMIT? $14+ tRILLION , NOT ENOUGH? Common!
It is my understanding that there is $700 BILLION in UN_OBLIGATED FUNDS sitting in DC,that is just gathering dust.This, plus the daily tax income money would hold us over for some time!
WE MUST STOP SPENDING!
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that you can't spend money you don't have and therefore your credit card gets cut up and you pay that bill. Our congress and senators are so afraid of whatever it is that it's really pissing me off. Where are all the REAL men out there? Do we have to send a woman in to do a man's job……again???? If any of you are reading this, get your jobs done and vote on behalf of your constituents with a clear conscience. If Obummer has "something" on you and holding you hostage, speak out, let it be known, have HIM arrested, call the military to take over,
get your fellow congressmen and senators behind you and stand tall. Just do it!!!!! I will think more of you for this than otherwise. Don't let him do this to you or to us. We love America, don't you?
FIRST OF ALL I RECEIVE SS. THEY WANT TO SCARE THE CRAP OUT OF ALL RECIPENTS OF SS. THE MONEY WE TAKE IN IN TAX IS ENOUGH TO PAY SS. AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS. I WOULD NOT LIKE TO SEE OUR COUNTRY DEFAULT. IT WOULD BE LIKE ME NOT PAYING MY BILLS WHICH I HAVE NEVER DEFAULTED ON ANY. ITS TIME FOR CONGRESS AND THE SENATE TO PASS A BALANCED BUDGET AND STOP THE IRRESPONSIBLE SPENDING. THEY HAVE HAD A BLANK CHECK ALL THESE YEARS. IF THEY NEED HELP I AM SURE THERE ARE PLENTY OF AMERICANS AND THEY ARE NOT CONGRESSMEN OR SENATORS CAN TELL THEM WHERE TO CUT WITHOUT EVEN TOUCHING SOCIAL SECURITY. THEY ARE ALL FULL OF BS. ITS TIME FOR THEM TO GET THERE HEADS OUT OF THERE PIE HOLES.
