Obama’s real ‘war’ is against the elderly

[Geee]

Washington Times:

Politicians around here keep talking about some kind of underground, undeclared War on Women. But the only real open warfare going on is President Obama’s all-out War on Seniors.

When it came time for him to find spending cuts to pay for some fraction of his massive health care overhaul, where did Mr. Obama go? He raided Medicare.

Bipartisan projections predict that over 10 years, $500 billion will be siphoned out of the seniors’ health-care program to pay for Mr. Obama’s political boondoggle. As if it is not cruel enough to strip away trusted doctor care for the elderly, Mr. Obama also seems to enjoy terrorizing seniors whenever he doesn’t get his way.

The first time we saw this tantrum was last year during the epic debate over whether to allow the government to borrow another $2 trillion to keep our “vital” federal operations going.

This town was cleaved in two with some demanding drastic savings be found to pay for the new borrowing and others saying the federal government could not withstand all those cuts.

Mr. Obama led the camp arguing that further cuts would be crippling. Funny to think of that today with the daily shocking revelations about the clowns and mind-readers brought in for the lavish federal government conferences in Vegas.

Still, Mr. Obama was adamant that the government could not withstand further cuts. And, he insisted, the “debt ceiling” had to be lifted right away. If not, Mr. Obama threatened belligerently, seniors would not get their Social Security checks. He even took veterans and handicapped hostage on that one.

“It’s not just a matter of Social Security checks,” he menacingly implored. “These are veterans checks, these are folks on disability and their checks.”

Mr. Obama, of course, soon got his $2 trillion and he’s spending it at a terrifying clip. We will be paying it off for generations.

The president threw his latest temper tantrum over the serious constitutional questions the Supreme Court raised about his aforementioned health-care law.
