reason as i see it, the prevailing numbers in these 3 groups did not and will not vote for him. so he will punish them.

this potus is a lying weasel. so much for leading by example.

Because he is owned by foreign interests and big business and believes he own seniors, the military and veterans. He gives money to foreign interests and big business and leaves the bill at our feet.

I have no words to describe how I despise this man other than comparing him to how I feel about Bush Senior and Junior.

So he did lie and several Congressmen called him on it.

If he stops the checks it's a political move by him. Even one of the top guys at SS testifying in front of Congress said so.

The hell.

Mr. Obama: Well, 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 each month.

Now, not being one for conspiracies, I interpreted that when I read it to mean all of the the checks going out each month, which woul include most of the above in bold. And surely you are aware that welfare is a state issue, and medicaid a federal/state partnership?

I guess you really think he could get by with a half a**ed attempt to punish those who don't vote fro him. Remember that although he may have a lot of power with the Congressmen in the Blue states he may have to count the number of Representatives in the wholly blue states. Also, he may not control the Senate if he tried that kind of punishment. I doubt that you will ever be the President, though, so I won't worry about crap like that.

That is exactly how those of the left lean see things.

The best part of this one is that he may not have the vote to increase his credit card before August 2 and then he either admits that he lied or he takes a chance that he won't lose all those votes. He knows that seniors are the best voters, by number, so he will have to chicken out.
