Obama can't invoke the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution to legitimately prevent default on the US debt, because his corporate puppet-masters are pulling his strings in another direction entirely.



Instead, Obama will do exactly what TPTB demand: facilitate the final and absolute theft of the $2.5 Trillion Social Security surplus while dismantling the rest of the New Deal, and otherwise dragging the US down toward mediocre third-world plutocratic kleptocracy. Sure am glad I campaigned for this 'Hope & Change' candidate in 2008 (/sarcasm); won't be fooled again in 2012.
