Lets see how far the GOPe will bend over for this unaccomplished, indolent punk.
I'm gonna sue 0bama for stealin' my line!
We have to break the habit of being concerned about saddling ourselves with debt. He thinks increasing the debt of our nation is a game. Thanks, Mr. President.
FUBO. History is not going to be kind to you.
He and Bubba Klintoon already trotted out their stance last year that the President don’t need no Congress to allow him to pay whatever bills come due to the Federal Government - the Debt Ceiling is meaningless to this asshat and he will quickly show the doubters of his kingship. After all he has told everyone that he won with a MANDATE to tax the rich. All of us high information voters know that taxing the rich will keep the Feds running for EIGHT DAYS - ever hear the Won talk about that?
As long as the legislative branch actively negotiates with the president, they are abrogating their power and responsibility. Sure, the president can sign the law, or not sign the law; but allowing him to write the law makes them effectively representatives of the political parties, and not the people.
He's too stupid say this stuff. His handlers are doing his work while he watches TV and plays golf.
And this comment is coming from the same guy who said that George Bush was unpatriotic (or words very close to that) when he wanted to raise the debt ceiling several years ago. Now, in this strange parallel universe of Obama, it’s entirely the right thing to eliminate the ceiling altogether.
Debt is not a game for adults, it is a game for children. Adults have learned to delay gratification for future rewards, children want to steal from the adults to finance immediate gratification.
At a Business Roundtable meeting today? This is the best Real Clear Politics could report? It’s all incoherent, both the article and “not use the debt ceiling as leverage”.
Fine asshat, don’t play. See how zero spending fits the Zero President.
"I WILL NOT PLAY THAT GAME!
Ya know...if it were a Democrat Congress...with Romney as president...the house Dems would be lining up , with bricks in each hand to brick his “nu*s publically all day long on the MSM!!!
The communist dictator has spoken. When does the fun start?
BOHICA eGOP!
From Zerohedge:
“It really never gets old...
Date: March 16, 2006
Place: Senate Floor
Speech by Sen.Barack Obama:
” The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies.
Over the past 5 years, our federal debt has increased by $3.5 trillion to $8.6 trillion.That is “trillion” with a “T.” That is money that we have borrowed from the Social Security trust fund, borrowed from China and Japan, borrowed from American taxpayers. And over the next 5 years, between now and 2011, the President’s budget will increase the debt by almost another $3.5 trillion.
Numbers that large are sometimes hard to understand. Some people may wonder why they matter. Here is why: This year, the Federal Government will spend $220 billion on interest. That is more money to pay interest on our national debt than we’ll spend on Medicaid and the State Children’s Health Insurance Program. That is more money to pay interest on our debt this year than we will spend on education, homeland security, transportation, and veterans benefits combined. It is more money in one year than we are likely to spend to rebuild the devastated gulf coast in a way that honors the best of America.
And the cost of our debt is one of the fastest growing expenses in the Federal budget. This rising debt is a hidden domestic enemy, robbing our cities and States of critical investments in infrastructure like bridges, ports, and levees; robbing our families and our children of critical investments in education and health care reform; robbing our seniors of the retirement and health security they have counted on.
Every dollar we pay in interest is a dollar that is not going to investment in America’s priorities.”
Fast forward to today, when the same senator, now president, is openly threatening with using a veto to impose his will on raising the debt ceiling over that of what, at least according to the Congress, is still the majority of Americans.
So much changes in 6 years indeed...”
Liar, Liar pants on fire.
That IS Obama’s game - 11th hour crisis (every year); expand my debt limit or else! It is the game he and Harry Reid have played for three years and running.
Where’s a House Speaker like Newt when you need one?
