What will the teabaggers do now? I would love it if they had to march on Washington D.C. to get their checks.

In an interview with CBS Evening News, President Obama says he can't guarantee Social Security checks will go out Aug. 3rd if a debt-ceiling deal is not reached by the Aug. 2nd deadline.

Threatening old peoples' Social Security is ice-cold, but Obama doesn't really have any other choice; just this morning, John Boehner said the debt ceiling was President Obama's problem. (Presumably, Boehner is too busy creating jobs to worry himself with the debt limit.)
