Obama delays request to hike debt ceiling - Political Hotsheet - CBS NewsHONOLULU -- At the request of congressional leaders, President Obama is delaying his certification that government spending is again nearing the legal borrowing limit and it must be increased by $1.2-trillion.
On the advice of the Treasury Department, Mr. Obama was poised to declare Friday that the debt of the United States was within $100 billion of the statutory debt ceiling, which now stands at $15.194 trilllion.
Under the Budget Control Act enacted this year, that certification enables the president to call for an increase in the debt limit of $1.2 trillion.
When will this stop? We have to make cuts!
I forsee another fiasco...and another downgrade.
I want to see Government shut down. A shot of reality needs to set in.I forsee another fiasco...and another downgrade.
Democrats....
The inventors of the trillion dollar deficit.
Obama will request increase in debt ceiling AGAIN...

Ummmm...it was part of the deal. BTW, raising the debt ceiling is a routine matter. Only after the Tea Party came to town did it become the debacle that got the US downgraded.

Incredible.

The fact that we're here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. Leadership means '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 problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America's debt limit.

The Tea Party said this?

And precisely the probem. Business as usual...didn't the O promise that would end, or was it another lie to give him an out to blame others for his and the Statists doubling down on spending?
Perhaps you prefer running off the cliff as most of prefer we turn back...?
We the ones that pay the bills are tired of moochers...
