President 2012: Obama Says He Cannot Guarantee Social Security Checks Will Go Out in August

Didn’t we all expect this or the withholding of the military paychecks, if the President and the Congressional Democrats did not get their way with increasing the federal debt ceiling?

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.

Well, of course, this is BS and everyone knows it.

The next thing that will happen is that Obama and his cabinet will FLEE Washington and promise not to come back until the Republicans relent on budget issues – like in Indiana and Wisconsin.

What kind of leadership is this?

    Doesn’t anyone understand the Constitution? The President is NOT
    empowered to control spending.  ONLY The Congress controls spending.
     The President is a butler; read his approx 10 powers and think about
    it.  Everything else believed about the President’s authority is a lie,
    brainwashed into your minds.  Will the President exercise powers that
    are not lawfully his?  Probably because Americans are gutless.  They
    elected him and we will get what we deserve for either doing so or
    allowing such to happen. If Obama fails to faithfully execute the laws
    (passed by Congress), he commits an impeachable offense.
