Obama’s Promise Not to Scare Seniors Reaches Expiration Date

Print Friendly

Well, folks, I don’t know how many of you would still be here if I came in and endorsed this thing today. With Dingy Harry — I personally know what a reprobate the guy can be after the “phony soldier” business. Sitting here and saying that he and Senator McConnell agreed a long time this is not Obama’s problem? Yeah, folks, here, listen to Dingy Harry. This is what a great deal it is! It has not taken the Social Security thing off the front page. It didn’t “divert” anything. All it did was fire up the left. You know, when the media starts saying, “This is a deal everybody can live with,” you know that it’s a win for Obama.

Now, “Senator McConnell’s plan would allow Obama to increase the debt ceiling and overall debt $2.5 trillion,” between now and the 2012 campaign. It doesn’t propose any structural entitlement reform or real spending reform to stop this train that we’re on. It just takes us down the road to further bankruptcy and tries to blame Obama for it. I’m all for that, but who do we actually want blaming Obama? We want voters blaming Obama. We don’t care, because we know who the media’s gonna support and who they’re not going to support. So that basically is my summation of this. I mean, you might disagree. You might like it, and have at me if you wish.

I just don’t know how the Republicans are gonna explain to their constituents, especially Tea Party supporters, why they are reneging on their 2010 campaign promise to address this debt crisis in a positive and courageous way. ‘Cause this just doesn’t do it. Look, nobody would love for Obama to take the blame on this more than me — nobody — but I think it’s happening. Where it matters most. You know what this boils down to (and I should not forget this)? I learned this a long time ago, and it’s one of these things that I should not have to remind myself of, but we do live in two different worlds. My concern is you. I’m in the arena of ideas, the court of public opinion.

    This guy is lower then whale doodoo. Fearmongering is the lowest tactic a politician can use. His leadership consist of two skills, lies and threats. Obama is wasting his these skills here, isn’t there a South American banana republic that is in need of a dictator. Maybe he could take that bunch of “useful idiots” that elected him with and do us all a favor.

    • lizaz

    • duif100

      Neither am I and I am also a senior.
      Every delayed check means a vote that Obama cannot get.

      • OregonStorm

        And me also…….I am almost 75. Nothing much scares me any more, much less this snot nosed upstart in the Oval Office who doesn’t know his a$$ from a hole in the ground!!

        • Johnny atom

          I am from the same generation as you my friend and I support exactly what you are saying, we’ll survive one way or another the threatner in chief. And if he does pull this $hit every senior in the country needs to vote him out.

    • Arjay

      No money for social security?!?! What is the FICA that is deducted from our paychecks EVERY payday?!?! That is a DEDICATED PROGRAM that is SUPPOSED to be used ONLY to pay SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS!!

    That must be the newest SS/Medicare strategy.
    Scare the seniors to death and save their SS benefits and Medicare expenses.
    Brilliant plan! Pure Obama genius!
    It solves two problems with one stroke.
    He could not even wait for the death panels.

  • Jstarusa

    He also forgets what no senior checks will do to the economy ! He thinks since we depend on those checks that we are the weakest link and can just blow us off! He better think again!

  • http://conservitebyte Delmer

  • NIELS OLSEN kimberly, idaho

    i remember the sound bite of “house boy” saying he only wanted to be a one term president. now, however, “house boy” has just told all the Americans that he is going to take Grandmother’s and Grandfather’s money if he doesn’t get his way. anybody see the beauty in this. i am anxious to see the sound bites that can air of “house boy” telling ss(something) recipients that he is not going to send them their money. i’ve got to say it, thank you “house boy” obama. “house boy” you have crossed the proverbial political line from which you may not recover.
    oh, boy, i am so happy. if you were my “house boy” i would send you to a week of bread and water in the wood shed. but now everyone in America sees you for what you are. you cannot be trusted with our money. everyone can see. everyone.
    only two choices on the democratic ticket for president: “house boy” and noone. i wager noone wins by a hefty majority.

    Folks this is my one and only post allowed today, if moderators are so kind as to allow
    me their one and only quota that they have alloted to me, just one each day, if I’m lucky…

    Promise Not to scare seniors reaches expiration date,,, who’s kidding who?

    Who would ever write such extorted propaganda??? That’s nothing but disinformation to send out such propaganda and disinformation to try to scare monger any one and every one possible.
    Try them for treason, hang them all in the public square, that would be doing them a favor.

    They need to be stalked and poisoned with cancerous polutens like they stealthly do to us by their unethcial means to enter our homes so stealthy and poison our food and drink and clothes while we’re away. We never know it has been happening for years….

    Yes they have been doing this for years, and there is no lock they can’t pick or jiggle
    to enter your home without you or anyone else suspecting it, and unless you are constantly and meticously observant you will never ever realize or comprehend anyone ever entering your home,,,,There will never be anything out of place, no valuables ever taken, Money, etc.

    Who finances such stealthly gutter terrorists,,,,, They are even in the ghettos the most poorest of the poor, and they are stealthy Murderers killing innocent people not doing harm to no one,

    Wake up people it’s happening everyday, No one ever can film them on camera they know how to advoid them and never get caught, They can enter your home and screw up your video recorder that you have in servailence of your home and property, and you or no one ever knows…
    You may even be a victim and never ever recognize it…
    They are so crafty that you would have to be gaurded like the President to be protected from them, believe me I know, I am no noble guarded person, but just a peon living in the wide open country, but have only by miraclious protection from God alone have managed to survive through it for 18 years, and still no end ever in sight…They cannot ever stop, They cannot ever be caught, They seem to be addicted to continue forever till they are dead or their victim is dead, it is an absolute miracle I’m still alive today…. This is absolute truth, please be extremely careful always…They even follow or are replaced by others to carry on from State to State….
    This is no BS this is absolute fact. I am just a peon, trying to survive….

  • K..M.

    Obama just offered more proof that he is not fit to occupy our White House when he tried to scare the seniors into demanding that we need more National Debt, A.K.A. the scare tactic. Just how low will he finally stoop?All this added together is absolute proof that this piece if crap must vacate the White house, like yesterday. Absolutely before this term has expired.

  • K..M.

    Would it be published if I was offering high praise for all good things Obama has done for our country like,for example

  • OregonStorm

    Here’s an interesting thought………….The government borrowed the Social security money. That simple act turned all of our social security checks into debt (against the government’s books). Know what happens in an “emergency”? Anything counted as a government debt takes priority in their payments, with debt service on loans coming first. The Congress left IOUs in our SS Trust fund so what does that make payments to SS “stakeholders”………….wait for it. Payments to Seniors has become debt service on our loans to Congress!! DELICIOUS!!

    I did some research into the claim that our national debt stands at $14.8 Trillion. That is only part of the actual debt. To find the scale of the true debt, you have to look at the total unfunded liabilities of our government. When all of these liabilities are calculated our total national debt is an astounding $127 Trillion Dollars! Here is a “brief” overview of the debt situation as I found it.

    Congress is trying to convince Americans that raising the debt ceiling, will somehow free America from crushing debt. The amount of debt being reported $14 Trillion. This estimate is an outright piece of liberal PROPAGANDA. The U.S. Government is actually a total of $127 Trillion in debt. As it has been said in business:

    “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people, all of the time.”

    What exists in the liberal politician’s “Debt Limit Fight,” is a conspiracy contrived by liberal/progressive politicians, trying to “fool the voter,” and hide the fact that America’s debt is so far out of control, that a $2.8 Trillion increase is insignificant when looking at our debt crisis.

    The following facts indicate the depth of America’s financial troubles.

    Current Federal Deficit & Debt
    • $1.347 Trillion – The amount the Federal government has overspent in 2011 – with 5 1/2 months left to go in the fiscal year
    • $354 million per day – The amount every single day the Federal government is now over-spending, (not including Social Security & Medicare)
    • $14.2 Trillion – The amount of money the Federal government has already borrowed and must pay back
    • $1 Million every 46 seconds – The rate at which the National Debt, (interest + additional deficit spending, but not including unfunded mandates is growing as of April 2011)
    • $128,561 – The amount of Federal Debt per taxpayer
    When this is all put together, the Federal Government of debt owed totals:
    $127 Trillion!

    Only Taxing the Rich Won’t Solve The Debt Crisis.

    • $1.3 Trillion – Total value OF ALL CASH & ASSETS for the richest people in America, (as reported by Forbes) – seizing all assets would cover less that 1/3 of 2011 spending
    • $77 Trillion – The total assets of every American household, small business and corporation
    Bottom line total of America’s total combined assets:

    $78.2 Trillion!

    Even if the government taxed EVERY INDIVIDUAL, BUSINESS AND CORPORATION 100% of all assets WOULD NOT PAY OFF THE NATIONAL DEBT! If we sold all combined assets;
    America would still owe:

    $48.8 Trillion!

    The Crisis Just Keeps Growing
    • $100,000 per SECOND – The rate at which the National Debt + Unfunded Liabilities are growing
    • 2037 – The year the CBO (Congressional Budget Office) says the American economy will completely crash, our government and people left bankrupt and our currency rendered worthless if drastic changes do not start immediately.

    The CBO predictions paint a rosy picture, when compared to the fact that America America’s total net worth, does not equal our debt.

    We are BANKRUPT!

    The only thing that makes the dollar worth anything is the illusion that is magically being projected on a screen of thin air.

    Financially American politicians have sold our Nation to the high-bidders in the World including:
    ● CHINA;
    ● INDIA;
    ● the MIDDLE EAST; and
    ● ASIAN NATIONS.

    I have NO IDEA how to solve this catastrophic debt disaster that we have gotten ourselves into. Liberal American politicians and New World Order advocates have created this crisis intentionally, to force America into a One World Dictatorship.

    These are the facts of the debt dilemma, but the actual takeover may prove to be much more difficult than the New World Order pundits have planned.

      WHERE OR WHERE IS DONALD TRUMP, BUSINESSMAN OF THE EXTRAORDINARY TYPE ?????? I do not see Romney as one…….. Mr. Trump only. I do hope he sees fit to run for President for it will take a world class businessman exactly like him to straighten out this country and it’s debt.
      Why do we allow all imports to be tax-free from certain countries anyway?? Just thinking aloud!!

    Being one of those kids that “Lived” through the “Great Depression”–I know what one looks like–& Obama Doesn’t-! I wasn’t spoiled–I got to eat my Chile-Beans & crackers–it didn’t hurt me a bit-! I also ‘loved’ peanut-butter & jelly Sandwiches for my school-lunches-! Guess
    what-!? I grew up strong & proud, could do 20 push-ups any time of day–& could run a mile
    without puffing & groaning-! It was good for me to have that exercise-! I went trout-fishing in
    the mountain-streams–& had worries about ‘bad dreams’–my mind was sharp & clean–math
    & reading–was taught to read by my mother when I was three-! But we did have a recipe for
    “Liars”–2 tea-spoonfulls of “Castor-Oil” will “Cure” all doubters-who wanted to “miss” a day of
    school from an ‘immaginary sickness’-! Truth–wasn’t that where the rest of your friends are?!
    I think Obama should take that “Cure-All” which exposes “Liars” & “Gets all that ‘Mean-Stuff’ Out-!” Repeat It one more time Next week–to be sure it’s working-! He’s Cured of Lying too-!
