Essentially, compromise for the 2013 debt ceiling came in the form of a short term bill that was passed in late January 2013 that put off an expiration of the ceiling until May 2013. As of right now, there has been no action to extend that date.

Did senator Barack Obama make a statement re raising the debt limit in march 2006?

Yes he did. He was objecting what he believed was out of control spending by President Bush and the Republicans, who controlled congress at that time; and he expressed his opposition to raising the debt limit. However, when congress voted on it, the debt limit was in fact raised, although Mr. Obama was among those who voted against it. That said, it is very typical for a senator or representative to hold one set of views when in the opposition party in congress, and a different set when in the majority or when that person has become president. President Obama has indeed changed his position on the issue of the debt ceiling. I enclose a link to Snopes. com which verified his change of position between 2006 and 2011.

Did Obama say he would not guarantee social security checks if the debt ceiling wasn't raised?

Yes, he did, but there is a context to this story: it wasn't that he "would not," but rather, he expressed his concern that the government soon "could not." In July 2011, both the Republicans and Democrats were locked in a battle over the debt ceiling; while some congressional members wanted compromise, a faction of conservative "Tea Party" Republicans was threatening to let the US go into default for the first time in history. The president believed this would do serious damage to the country's credit, just to make a political point about spending. In the midst of the heated negotiations, President Obama stressed how crucial it was to come up with a compromise. He warned that if the United States did default, many bills would not be paid (including social security and veterans' benefits) because the government would lack the money to pay them.
