RRD:President Obama in a clear demonstration of his callousness towards the elderly has announced that he would prefer to see them dead of starvation and homelessness rather than abandon his obsession with finishing off the economy with tax hikes.(This is how the Republicans would characterize Obama's statement if they had the Chutzpah of the Democrats,and it would be closer to reality).
Instead Mcconnell has not only caved,he has actually proposed giving Obama the authority to raise the debt ceiling on his own. No,this isn't a nightmare or a satire;read on. Obama says he cannot guarantee Social Security checks will go out on August 3 - Political Hotsheet - CBS News

....."Still, McConnell said Republicans would "do the responsible thing" to avoid default, suggesting that a deal on the debt ceiling could be reached without a "real" deficit reduction package. "The president has presented us with three choices: smoke and mirrors, tax hikes, or default. Republicans choose none of the above. I had hoped to do good, but I refuse to do harm. So Republicans will choose a path that actually reflects the will of the people, which is to do the responsible thing and ensure that the government doesn't default on its obligations," he said. Mr. Obama has repeatedly said he wants a deal that would allow the U.S. to avoid confronting the issue again until after the 2012 elections and vowed on Monday that he would "not sign a 30-day or a 60-day or a 90-day extension." "This the United States of America and, you know, we don't manage our affairs in three -month increments. You know, we don't risk U.S. default on our obligations because we can't put politic
s
aside," Mr. Obama told reporters at the White House yesterday."...
