(CNSNews.com) - House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said on Friday that Congress should hand over to President Barack Obama personal, unilateral authority to increase the limit on the U.S. government's debt.

At a Friday press conference, a reporter asked Pelosi if she agreed with a proposal made by Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner that Congress give Obama the power to unilaterally increase the debt limit.

"Yes," she said.

When he met with members of Congress on Thursday to discuss a deal to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff that is set to occur at the end of this year, Secretary Geithner suggested that Congress give Obama the personal power as president to lift the legal limit on the federal government's debt.

Heck, why not give him personal authority to suspend the Constitution too, while we’re at it.

Why don't they simply do it the traditional way and set fire to the Reichstag?

Pretty soon they won’t be asking. They will just assume the power.

Let me guess - if the GOP ever regains the WH Ms Piglosi and her RAT party would want to revoke such a law.

Give Obama Personal Authority to Lift Limit on National Debt

In addition to lowering the sea level and the Earth's fever?

I seem to recall a story about a far away place (I think they called it Germany or something like that) a loooooong time ago, when some “representatives of the people” gave a funny looking, charismatic narcissist the keys to the treasury (and everything else). I don’t remember the story ending very well....

It’s just a story. It would never happen here.

That would be just as irresponsible as giving Nancy Pelosi a Credit Card with no limit.

Knowing that bimbo she would burn through that and then some and she would still not be satisfied.

It is so ultimately pathetic that this Pelosi freak is still able to run her mouth.

This alone says everything about the democratic party.
