That’s easy to explain, The debt is coming due to those he sold his soul to to become a figurehead empty suit POTUS.
Just remember that when it comes to liberals, they are always looking at the bottom line which is power. They’ll jump off the Obama sinking ship like the rats they are, if it’s going to save them in the next election.
