WASHINGTON President Barack Obama is asking Congress for another $1.2 trillion increase in the nations debt limit.
The request is largely a formality. Its the third and final request the president is allowed under a deal the White House and lawmakers reached in August to prevent a government default.
But Republicans are likely to use the election-year request as an opportunity to criticize the presidents spending policies.
Congress has 15 days to reject the presidents request. The White House says Obama would veto any objections in order to avoid a default.
Obama originally planned to make this request in late December. But with Congress on vacation until mid-January, lawmakers asked Obama to delay his request so they could vote on the matter when they return.

“November cannot get here fast enough!!!”
I hear you, but things will change in November...how?
Dresses ain't cheap.... beotches!!!!
Which of course is another Obama lie. Default would only occur if interest payments are not met, which would easily be doable given FedGov's gigantic revenue stream.
Of course, it would also call for REAL spending cuts. Which we all know won't happen either under Zero or his RINO enablers.
Haven’t they deported this bozo yet?!?
No! Enough is enough. This clown thinks he has a credit card. We can not let him spend more of our money. Say No!
Him and his wife are stealing our money.
Hope and Change.... Tragic.
Countdown until Zer0 leaves Office: 374 days as of January 12, 2012.
It will be funneled towards groups for his re-coronation campaign.
I was a drunken Sailor,but I spent my own money.
LOL
Obama pulls down his pants and urinates on you
Totally different, Obama is an America Hating scumbag. This is what is to be expected....although its funny the media doesn’t say anything is wrong about Odumbi pissing on US.
Boehner came out with some milque toast BS comment about Obama wasting money but you can believe he will make sure Barry gets his $1.2 trillion. No problemo.
Republicans will criticize it and give him 1.199 trillion instead.
it has nothing to do with the Cloward - Piven strategy that he studied in college, that is just wacko conspiracy theory !!!!
And Boehner will say, “Yessa Massir”.
How dare you compare me and my sisters to 0pansy! It is so offensive on many levels....
1st: Being drunk means spending money, which pay wages for all the folks that make, transport, and sell the booze that gets me toasted. Sounds like capitalism to me.....
2nd: My sisters provide a much needed service to the county. They get the money from those filthy rich and then shop for new clothes, dine at restaurants, rent rooms, and watch a few movies. Again, sounds like capitalism to me.
3rd: Just having fun and pulling your chain.
0pansy must go in November, else, our Country will explode. This is what the dipStick said before the election, http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2832169/posts

Sailors, drunken or not, have to earn their money
Let’s say, you come home from work and find there has been a sewer backup in
your neighborhood.
Your home has sewage all the way up to your ceilings.
What do you think you should do? Raise the ceilings or pump out the shit?
Most Americans cannot fathom a Trillion, which is why more
outrage is spent on Billions and Millions.
1.5 Trillion sounds much less than 800-Billion. The politicians know this.
When I managed a club I used to ask waitresses which was more,
Ten Twenties or Twenty Tens. They always chose one or the other.
