“If congressional Republicans refuse to pay America’s bills on time, Social Security checks and veterans benefits will be delayed”


Barack Obama telling the world he will NOT negotiate with the republicans, yesterday
Uhm .. SOCIAL SECURITY, Mr. President is funded separately from the budget. Just because you have been raiding it’s surpluses until now, to fund Solyndra and trips by Michelle to the Costa Del Sol does not give you the ability to hold those funds to get the people to blame republicans for TRYING to have SOME TINY degree of responsibility.
TINY.
Here is MY PROMISE, as someone who worked on protests that put FIVE-SIX FIGURES into the streets beginning in the late 60’s .. if you use this threat, and carry it out, you will see me and a LOT OF OLDER PEOPLE charging the White house, daring you to bludgeon us.
Oh, and I bet a lot of our children and grandchildren will be along.
And characterizing us as racists won’t change a goddamned thing.
Not when MANY OF US worked in the Civil Rights movement.
Now that I think of it, there is something satisfying about ‘outside agitators’ … ‘coming home to roost’.
You do remember that phrase, Mr. Obama, don’t you?

Ever since re-elected, Obama's arrogance has grown by leaps and bounds. Has anyone else here at IBA noticed this "change" in BHO?

Really? Obama's arrogance? Congress approved the spending and now as political grandstanding are denying paying it back. I call that cynical arrogance.

Pairing a photo of Obama with a dictator is such a loony wingnut tactic. But really stupid.

@LIBERALMANN
The Senate has not passed a budget in THREE YEARS. The house has passed budgets ONLY rejected by the senate.

Congress has only approved CONTINUING resolutions and no budget. And if we CONTROL OUR SPENDING the almost 3 trillion in tax revenue can pay all bills.

The photo simply indicated the remarkably like facial attitudes, which IS SIGNIFICANT since the leader KEEPS ON INSISTED he will evade the congress and therefore the constitution in both lawmaking (2nd amendment) and spending... CONGRESS's constituional authority.

Imagine if W was evading congress in both adhering to the bill of rights and Article 1.

"No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law"

That means Congress

What kind of arrogance, and arrogation of power is tolerable?
