If he needs to raise the credit limit on the national credit card to pay our bills, heck YES it has something to do with spending !!

2013 will NOT be a good year, remember provisions from the “affordable health Care” package are rolling in. People who were living paycheck to paycheck will have to decide whether to cut food, housing or gas (to get to work) in order to pay for the new health care tax mandate. Wow, is he going to be popular when the public gets hit in the wallet with THAT, and mom’s are having trouble booking Dr. apts. ! ! ! ( Dr. shortage + flood of new patients ) Business will still be slow, and people will have less to spend.

We can laugh or cry…
We should assemble a collection of Obama video clips for the comedians to slam him with next year.

Basically Obama made it clear, the debt ceiling issue is the American people's way or the highway for Congressional (#gop) hostage takers.

Oh here we go again. Obama, MSM, liberal news channels are about to hit us with more BS rhetoric on the debt ceiling just like he did with tax the rich. You all remember that don't you. Where he said that "Americans will not pay one more dime in taxes" conveniently leaving out the increase in payroll taxes.

We are a dead beat country when 47% of us are on the government dole. So what will he leave out or not tell us in this round? It's time for big bird to go lol. Its time to stop paying his buddies. CUT, CUT, CUT

Everyone I know when they wanted to get debt under control they cut expenses why doesn't Obama? Because too much debt is the easiest way to bring the house of cards down.

Hey dems...what happened to PAGO....your beloved pelosi passed?
Quote:

Pelosi said, "When I became speaker of the House ... our majority made PAYGO the rule of the House -- that if you wanted to have an investment, an entitlement, etc., you had to pay for it. There was no open-ended spending."
Guess that crap went straight out the window....

Was that another lie....from the left?

The public tap dancing started as soon as the "fiscal cliff" bill got signed.

They will wait to the last minute, claim they have no time to really work out a solution, cobble something quick which includes new limit, pass it and then congratulate each other on avoiding total collapse and default. They will, of course, promise to work on a real solution sometime in the future.

I've seen this movie before. It ends the same way as it did last time I saw it.

That's why Obama likes Hollywood so much (and gives them a tax credit that middle class Americans get to pay for). He stared in the fiscal cliff drama and now he gets to be star in the debt ceiling drama...

Drama and created by "Obama".
Headliner: Obama
Co-Screen Players: Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi
Supporting Players: The Obama Cult and the 47%
