If you think the fiscal cliff was a disaster watch what happens as we approach the debt ceiling debate. If they raise the debt ceiling it will be the 80th time in our nations history. Both Republicans and Democrats are equally to blame. It makes you wonder why we even have a debt ceiling.
Boehner took it on the chin during the fiscal cliff debacle. Republicans caved in faster then a West Virginia coal mine after an explosion. It was supposed to be a compromise right? Spending cuts in exchange for a tax increase on the wealthy. So how did it pan out? Not $2 or $3 of new taxes for every dollar cut in spending. Try $41 to $1.
$41 in additional taxes for every $1 of spending cuts. You call that a compromise!!! Barry got just about everything he wanted. The GOP nothing.
The next plight is already in the making.
Obama: Not raising debt ceiling could be "catastrophic"
(Everything is catastrophic with this guy. Why? He's the president)
This statement fired off the first salvo over the bow. Translation... If Republicans don't raise the debt ceiling it will be "catastrophic"...
He's already penciled them in to take the fall. Barry does have the uncanny ability to shift blame and responsibility from himself and cast it upon others with the full cooperation of the media. Some past presidents led by example. Barry has always lead from behind. This worthless waste of skin has increased the national debt by almost $6 trillion already! When are the assholes in the media ever going to wake up?
Now its Boehner's turn. Time to turn the tables. Time for a little payback. As the debt ceiling debate drags on (nothing happens until the last minute...leadership remember?) if I were Boehner I would show these videos on Capitol Hill, C-Span, etc... for all America to see.

I would pass out the transcript:
“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. … Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.” …….. Senator Barack Obama 2006
Here's another one for reinforcement removing any doubt:
You simply can't have it both ways.
Barry campaigning 2008, this is sooo rich. At the time the debt was $10.6 trillion now its almost $16.5... and he hasn't even been sworn in yet for his 2nd term!!!
The word hypocrisy doesn't even begin to cover this. This guy is nothing but a fraud. A celebrity sculpted with empty promises and deceptions, a lying worthless snake the liberal media helped perpetrate as the salvation for America.
(click post title if video won't load)
Pure and simple. The guy is a con artist. If you're not convinced by his owns words I really don't know what else I can say.
Another downgrade is right around the corner. When we borrow 43 cents on every dollar we spend it's inevitable.
