senator obama, march, 2006, rationalizing his vote AGAINST raising the debt ceiling
Obama 2006 vs. Obama January 2011 vs. Obama April 2011 on the Debt Ceiling - Political Punch
in january of this year robert gibbs, the least effective press secretary i've ever seen, told abc's jake tapper, the reason obama voted the way he did back then is cuz he knew his "vote was not needed"
recklessness, anyone?
leadership?
“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure,” he said. “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. … 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 and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America’s debt limit.”
