US Rep. Steve King (R-IA) Says Obama Will Be Impeached If He Allows the United States To Default on Debt

WOW, they are using the “I” word.

US Representative Steve King (R-Iowa) stated that President Barack Obama “would be impeached” if the United States falls into debt default. King basically is saying that the debt is automatically paid as “the 1st dime of each $1 of revenue services debt. So how could the US default on the debt? For any honest politician, we can not. However, Obama continues to try and scare Americans by continuously using the  word default when it comes to the debt. Sadly, its all about the politics and reelection with Obama … not about America.

Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) said Monday that President Barack Obama “would be impeached” if the nation falls into default.

“STOP talking about default,” he wrote on Twitter. “The 1st dime of each $1 of revenue services debt. Obama would be impeached if he blocked debt payments. C C & B!”

King is among the House Republicans who voted for the so-called “Cut, Cap and Balance” plan that would introduce a constitutional amendment to require a balanced budget. The Senate last week dismissed the House bill.

Tea Party Caucus to Push Full Faith and Credit Act Bill That Would Force Obama to Pay Creditors, Social Security Recipients & Military in Case of Default

Enter the real adults …

Remember when President Barack Obama told CBS that he could not guarantee that Social Security checks would go out if the budget went into default? It appears that there is a real adult in the room as the Tea Party Caucus is looking to push a Full Faith and Credit Act bill that would force Obama to do the responsible thing and pay creditors, social security recipients and those in the military in case their is a debt limit default.

Tea Party conservatives hope to make a push on the House floor to force President Obama to avoid a national default if Congress fails to raise the debt limit.

Members of the Senate Tea Party Caucus have met with House freshmen to discuss a plan to pressure House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) to bring the Full Faith and Credit Act to the floor.

The legislation would direct Obama to prioritize federal payments to the nation’s creditors, Social Security recipients and soldiers serving in Afghanistan and Iraq.

How common sense is this bill that would make the President and Democrats responsible to prioritize their debt as opposed to using scare tactics and lie to the American people that checks will not go out . Normally it would be a president that would provide such leadership to show that the US would be responsible in prioritizing debt payment. Not in this case.

“We have a bill that directs by law the president to pay the interest on the debt, pay social security checks and pay soldiers’ salaries. We’ve been talking with the House freshmen to see if they will force a vote on that next week,” said Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), a member of the Senate Tea Party Caucus.

How shameful that Barack Obama would make such a comment that social security and disability checks would not go out when he knows there is the money to may them. Actually, it is beyond shameful and playing partisan scare politics at its worse.

However, as bad as Obama has been with such terrible scared tactics … as stated at Red State, its time for the Conservative GOP to draw a line in the sand and stand up for the principles as to why they were voted into office in 2010.

American Voters Trust Republicans on Economy Over Democrats … GOP has 10 Point Edge Over Democrats

The American people are letting their voice be heard … will our elected officials actually listen for once? The Democrats and the complicit MSM have tried to demagogue the debt crisis and demonize Republicans; however, ‘We the People” are not buying it.

As the debt limit discussion weighs in the balance as the Republicans and Democrats square off against each other as to how to handle the issue, a recent Rasmussen poll shows that American voters trust the GOP more in handling the economy than Democrats. Americans give the GOP a 10% lead over Democrats on the issue.

With lawmakers haggling over government debt and consumer confidence at a two-year low, voter confidence in Republicans to handle the economy is growing.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely Voters shows that 45% trust Republicans more when it comes to handling economic issues, while 35% put more trust in Democrats. Nineteen percent (19%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

This is not the only problem that Democrats and Barack Obama face. In the Rasmussen poll the GOP beat Democrats in nine out of the ten major issues of the day including the economy, healthcare, Iraq, immigration, social security, Afghanistan, national security, government ethics and taxes.

Voters now trust Republicans more than Democrats on nine of those 10 issues. In May, Republicans led on just six issues after being trusted more on all 10 in early January. Two years ago Democrats were trusted more than Republicans on most issues. Still, there are several issues that the parties are close on in terms of trust.

Making matters worse for Barack Obama, the Rasmussen poll has his Presidential Index at -21% and an overall job approval rating at 45% approval and 54% disapproval. The recent Gallup poll has it at 43% approval and 49% disapprove. His complete polls can be seen at Real Clear Politics where all seem to be in the red.

The GOP have the backing of the people, now it just depends whether they have the guts to do the right thing and hold to their principles and why the political landscape was changed in 2010.  As stated at Powerline, “So John Boehner and his fellow Republicans should not let themselves be bullied. The American people are counting on them.”

Obamanomics: Its All About the Politics, Not the Economy … Geithner Says Debt Deal Must Remove Default Threat Through 2012 Election

THE DEMOCRATS ARE NOW THE “PARTY OF NO” …

If Democrats & Republicans cannot come to an agreement on a debt limit solution, let WE THE PEOPLE decide in the 2012 elections.

When it comes to the debt limit debate, the Obama administration seems to care more about the politics of the issue than the effects of it on the economy of the United States. One would think that all options should be on the table. If  the two sides cannot come to an agreement, then a short term deal should be put in place and then let the 2012 elections be the decider and “WE THE PEOPLE” will vote as to what we want as a solution. However, this is not the case with the partisan Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, as he only wants the “take default off the table for the next 18 months … through the election.”

Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner showed little enthusiasm for a two-tiered debt-limit vote being discussed in Congress Sunday, saying it “makes no sense” to leave the threat of default hanging until the next election.

Speaking on Fox News Sunday, Geithner reinforced President Obama’s position that any proposal from Congress needs to “take default off the table for the next 18 months … through the election.”

What is Geithner and President Barack Obama afraid of? Seriously, if Congress cannot come to a deal and the President refuses to show any leadership, as he has basically been taken out of the mix in the talks,then pass a short term deal and let the 2012 elections and the voice of the American voters be the determination as to how debt reduction should occur. Elections are supposed to have consequences. Let that be one of them of the 2012 elections. GOP Speaker of the House stated this morning on Fox News Sunday that the House would be releasing a new plan. However, the Democrats and Obama seem to be showing a lack of leadership and appear to be the “Party of No.”

More Obama paritan talk came from Geithner on ABC News ‘This Week with Christiane Amanpour.’ One would think that Geithner’s concern would be the economy, not being Obama’s parrot. Why is it  a test for Republican leaders in Congress, I thought the buck was supposed to stop with the President?

On ABC News’ This Week with Christiane Amanpour, Geithner added that “this is a critical test for the American political system.  It’s a critical test for Congress and for the Republican leaders in Congress, because the eyes of the world are on us.”

OBAMANOMICS … Unemployment Rate up to 9.2% for June 2011, Only 18,000 Jobs Created

UNEMPLOYMENT RATE FOR JUNE 2011 … 9.2%, ONLY 18,000 JOBS CREATED!

Welcome to the failed economic policies of Barack Obama … the US added 18,000 jobs in June 2011. The unemployment rate for June 2011 went up .01% to 9.2%. OUCH!!! Take a look at the dismal unemployment numbers from the DOL. The unemployment rate is headed in the wrong direction and President Obama and Democrats talk about tax increases. Really?

Nonfarm payroll employment was essentially unchanged in June (+18,000), and the
unemployment rate was little changed at 9.2 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics reported today. Employment in most major private-sector industries
changed little over the month. Government employment continued to trend down.

Household Survey Data

The number of unemployed persons (14.1 million) and the unemployment rate (9.2
percent) were essentially unchanged over the month. Since March, the number of
unemployed persons has increased by 545,000, and the unemployment rate has
risen by 0.4 percentage point. The labor force, at 153.4 million, changed
little over the month. (See table A-1.)

Among the major worker groups, the unemployment rates for adult men (9.1 percent),
adult women (8.0 percent), teenagers (24.5 percent), whites (8.1 percent), blacks
(16.2 percent), and Hispanics (11.6 percent) showed little or no change in June.
The jobless rate for Asians was 6.8 percent, not seasonally adjusted. (See tables
A-1, A-2, and A-3.)

Is it any wonder why just the other day Senior Obama political adviser Plouffe made the comment that the people will not vote based on the unemployment rate, trying to spin in advance these terrible economic numbers.  It’s time for all to admit that Barack Obama’s policies on the economy are a complete failure.
