Here is a very good dose of 'political threats' and 'financial blackmail' Chicago gangster style from Marxist Obama. I would love to see Obama not send out the social security checks to the "seniors" and then see the "seniors" REALLY burn his sorry ass in the November of 2012 elections. Keep in mind.... that the "seniors" have already sent in their social security money before retirement, and the crooked politicians "borrowed" it to pay for the Vietnam war and the massive social programs that the Democrats love so dearly.
Yes, this is a very good example of the Chicago gangster style that only Obama and his hoods in Washington, D.C. understand. This is another look at the 'Change' that Obama promised. Threats, intimidation, and financial blackmail. What a jerk!!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama raised the stakes in the third straight day of budget talks on Tuesday by warning that senior citizens and veterans may suffer first if the debt ceiling is not raised by August 2.
The comments came as top Republicans toughened their stance in the deficit reduction talks. Hours before heading to the White House, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said a "real solution" to the U.S. debt problem was unlikely while Obama was in office.
As politicians sparred, U.S. business leaders pressed Obama and congressional leaders to act swiftly to raise the $14.3 trillion U.S. debt ceiling or risk derailing a sputtering economic recovery and endangering the global financial system. Obama and top lawmakers from both parties were due to meet at the White House at 3:45 p.m.
Obama said in an interview with U.S. television network CBS that checks to recipients of the Social Security retirement program may not go out in early August if he and congressional leaders do not agree on a debt deal.
"I cannot guarantee that those checks go out on August 3rd if we haven't resolved this issue," Obama said, according to excerpts of the interview released before its broadcast.
"Because there may simply not be the money in the coffers to do it," Obama said. He said veterans checks and disability benefits could also be affected without a deal.
