Apparently, Congress "can't see the forest because of the trees".
All of this nonsense over a debt ceiling is just a political ploy by Obama.
No matter what compromises are made, no matter what plan is submitted, no matter who does it; Obama either disapproves it or threatens to veto it.
Hasn't Congress caught on yet ? No matter how it turns out, Obama can say "THEY DID IT, NOT ME..."
All that the Congressional leaders need to do is ask Obama for his plan. Of course that would expose Obama as he isn't even sure what or why there is a debt ceiling.
You ignorant, bleeding heart liberals put a man in office that is totally clueless about running a country (let alone anything else). While he talks about cutting spending in Social Security and Medicare, his ObamaCare costs are many times larger. Where does he think the money is coming from ? If this keeps up, the only people in America with any money will be the politicians.
In the next election, an important question that should be asked of everyone running is, "Will you work for $1/ year and serve no more than two terms ?" Of course we'll need to know more about each candidate, but that should disqualify a whole bunch of phony politicians from the start.
There are two reasons that Obama wants to be re-elected...(1) While in office, his fortune has grown from "comfortable" to multi-millionaire. Another term would thrust him into the billionaire club. And (2) is that Obama, the egomaniac is so power hungry that he can't let go of control regardless if he is helping or hurting us.
Just ask yourselves...are you better off since Obama took office ? Why has unemployment soared five times as much for blacks and Latinos as for whites ?
I could ask many, many more of these questions until you would see that all of your answers point to a corrupt government being run by an incompetent narcissist.
Get rid of Obama and his advisers and supporters or lose everything..................
