Obama's People Admit He Was Lying About Default
American Spectator ^ | on 7.27.11 @ 3:15AM | By Matthew Vadum

Posted on 07/27/2011 4:33:58 AM PDT by Behind Liberal Lines

President Obama has no intention of allowing the U.S. government to default on its financial obligations regardless of whether the government's borrowing limit is raised...

This means that the president has been bargaining in bad faith with congressional leaders by raising the specter of a default, knowing full well he won't allow it to happen. This is another way of putting it: the president has been lying to the nation.

Of course this brings up the question, just what
does he think he is going to do. We could really
be facing a constitutional crisis depending on what
it is.

Okay, so the Bankers are reassured by the regime that the US will not default. Everyone knows interest expense is 10% of Fedzilla revenue.
So why the crisis, why the need for debt ceiling room until 0bamacare kicks in with new taxes and the Bush tax cuts expire?
What is this Plan B, and why has the plan not been written dowm?
Will 0bama spring the plan upon everyone, at which time we find out what’s in it?

Can we get some honesty from the 0bama government?

The only constitutional crisis is the govt spending money not in the congressional budget via not passing a budget and using continuing resolutions.

He has no plan. No way he’s going to put down on a piece of paper one dime of cuts to social programs. His base would go ballistic.

Given the nature and content of the article, I have to assume this was a rhetorical question bordering on sarcasm.

So, the July 22 deadline was phony. The August 2 deadline is also phony.

These guys lose credibility by the second.

Joke

How many members of the Obama administration does it take to change a light bulb?

None. They can't change a thing.

The president’s plan is in Al Gore’s Lockbox. It’s on double-secret lockdown.
