I really doubt anyone could at this point

Barry Soetoro (a.k.a. Barack Hussein Obama) had the opportunity
to, in his words ( Hope & Change ) well there is nothing to prove
that he's even come close to this, his record and job performance
is a total embarrassment added to this his 'MISGUIDED' policies
including increasing debt, again without any positive results


His Character and his Policies WILL dictated his fate.

I am not surprised you don't see.

Obama has increased the debt way beyond what is normal. I have posted data showing the FDA got a 19.8% increase in one year. Many others got as much. There is no reason to extend the debt ceiling to cover these large increases. Normal has been around 4 to 5% increase.

Reduce the spending to 2009 levels and we won't have to raise the ceiling as much.

You want to make the argument "the repubs voted to raise the ceiling 19 times". So what? Obama voted to no on raising the ceiling. So what? Different years different times.

it's like you buy a new car for 35$k. You can afford the payments. Why didn't you buy a Rolls Royce for $150K? Because you can't afford it.

America can afford the $35k buy, not the $150k

America CAN afford the $150k...there's trillions in cash tied up in the banks, corporations, and the top 1% of earners in this country.

Believe me...I'M NOT CONDONING BUYING THE ROLLS ROYCE! Hell no to that! But it's a fact that this country is extremely rich and all of the money is concentrated at the top and they are not being taxed their fair share.

That being said, we must raise the debt limit to pay our PAST and present obligations.

I don't think any American in his or her right mind should support anything Obama does!!!!!
