In the final press conference of his first term, President Obama called on House Republicans to pay the bills Congress has already racked up. He also reiterated that he will not negotiate over the debt ceiling. President Obama warned congressional Republicans Monday that a failure to raise the federal debt ceiling in the next several weeks would spell “disaster” for the US and global economies. And he reiterated his position that he will not negotiate over the debt ceiling. “These are bills that have already been racked up, and we need to pay them,” Mr. Obama said in the last presidential press conference of his first term. “So while I'm willing to compromise and find common ground over how to reduce our deficits, America cannot afford another debate with this Congress about whether or not they should pay the bills they've already racked up.”

Obama also bemoaned the pattern of the past two years, in which the government lurches “from crisis to crisis.” ...Bemoaned?...Huh?...Who's in charge, Asshat?

Just yesterday Mr. “Never Let a Crisis go to Waste” scolded Congress for careening from crisis to crisis.

this guy sees a disaster every time he passes one of the mirrors in the private residence in the white house.

Obama has broken his oath to defend the U.S. Constitution on numerous occasions. He is effectively “at war” against the United States. He needs to be tried for treason.

the only way the usurper rules, by crisis.......

hey Barack!

YOU racked up the debt with your bogus obamacare and other vote buying giveaways!

So YOU figure out what YOU are going to give up, because there is NO OBLIGATION TO FUND YOUR SOCIALIST AGENDA!

Is there some reason NOBODY in the GOP “leadership” has the courage to say this?

BO does NOT have a line item veto!

And it isn’t as though making him mad is going to make things any harder!

"Never let a good disaster go to waste..."

[Logical me]

Impeach King Obama! Take Biden with him.

[MHGinTN]

Little barry bastard boy commie and his henchgoons work hard to create those disasters, so they certainly don’t want them to go to waste don’tchaknow!

If you like me are some what ignorant of what we are up against and how we got into the mess we are in this is a must see video. Hang in there and watch the whole thing, it explains money and banks perfectly. We are so screwed.

Gotta love how when Obama needed to get re-elected, Bernanke was more than happy to fire up the printing presses with QE 4 right before the election, but now if we don’t give Obama everything he wants, the global economy will supposedly come crashing down and there will be nothing that can be done about it...

[ABQHispConservative]

You have to admit he is clever. He figured out how to get the gop to do his bidding. And predictably, the gop will bend over backwards, yell at conservatives, and compromise.

[P.O.E.]

Before Barry came into office, the deficit was under half a trillion dollars. Then came his magic economic stimulus, which pushed it to well over a trillion, where it has been ever since. Why can't we just discontinue the stimulus, which would cut our deficit to only $200- $300 billion? Or are we to believe that America's economy cannot operate without perpetual government stimulus?

Congress has at least a moral obligation to provide funding for the spending bills they enact.

[sickoflibs]

Well then he (o) shouldnt be saying he wont negotiate if he is so worried.

Where is the clueless GOP countering this on TV? Blaming it on O for his ‘you get nothing’ talking points??

This is why they (GOP) lose

...hype everything to control the news cycle. The frantic push on gun control helps push Benghazi crimes out of public discussion.

[Obadiah]

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… America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.

-Barack Obama, March 2006

Ever notice that we keep lurching from one "crisis" to the next and yet the economy NEVER gets any better, and there are still NO jobs?

Obama has been in charge for over four years now - four years! - and the economy is still just as bad as it was in 2008 with absolutely no prospect of recovery on the horizon. Will the corrupt MSM ever ask Obama hard questions about the economy, jobs, the growing homeless population?
