I think they know enough that they will hit that before end of October, maybe even September at the rate things are going.

That's the debt ceiling limit, he's asking for a $2T extension on it. The Obama Admin has NOT BORROWED $12T.

Want to do an experiment? Over the next week watch what "news" sources, blogs, radio programs posters and so on either state flat out or insinuate and mislead people to believe wrong things about Obama and $12 trillion.

China has bought gold and copper like drunken sailors. Yes, they are hedging against their imminent loses.

Yeah, you're probably right. In the long run though, it doesn't matter who got us there, just that we got there.

Blame to either this administration or the last won't change the number.
We have to look to the current administration to see how they deal with this increasing number and what their plans are to pay off this debt.

I want to hear some "cut" from this administration instead of "spend".

Sort of like if they didn't need more private jets they wouldn't be asking for more?
If they didn't need a pay raise they wouldn't have given themselves one?

He's just trying to get the country to manage financial matters as he did his own.

Again, I'll ask you for links showing that he's asking for $12T more.
You made the comment, you need to back it up. You've been asked to provide links at least twice by me alone.

Why do you just make things up, when you are answered with researched links, you obviously don't read them and reassert the same information that has already been debunked?

What gives?

Who knows.

That tactic only works if Obammy had NO EARTHLY IDEA what was going on in his boss' office after he became a senator.

If he's going to run for office and keep using that John Kerryesque-like tactic of blaming "my opponent", we can take a look at his voting record as senator and laugh:

Project Vote Smart - President Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. - Voting Record


A few "N" votes smattered in that mess...so he can't just shove this all off on Duhbya and think we'd all keep a straight face!
