He is SO close to achieving his goal of the complete government takeover of healthcare.
“Return to Normalcy” entailed getting the government out of the way. Eggheads have hated Warren Harding ever since.
Actually, it is normal for people in your position who do not possess even the most elementary understanding of leadership.
We must put a lid on illegal immigration or there will be catastrophic consequences including presidents like BHO becoming the new normal. I’m going to fight tooth and nail to get Ted Cruz elected! Ted Cruz is the normal America needs to put America back as the leader of the free world.
Obama: “This is not normal”
I agree. Neither Obama nor the Obamabots are normal.
He’ll do them without the KY and they will like it.
His lips were moving so he’s lying again.
Talk about “not normal”....LMAO!!!
Is this guy off his meds again???
Obama's idea of normalcy is Reggie Love and a tube of KY jelly.
The reality of a real debt limit:

The Debt Ceiling is the Law of the Land

Over the past few weeks, Democrats have indicated that they have no intention of negotiating over Obamacare, opting instead to shut down the government. They are justifying their obstinacy by asserting that Obamacare is the law of the land. Well, if that is the game they want to play, we should return the favor with the debt ceiling. The debt ceiling, pursuant to the Second Liberty Bond Act of 1917, is the law of the land. And it has been so for far longer than Obamacare.
Throughout this debate over funding Obamacare in the budget bill, House GOP leaders have stressed how the debt ceiling was the more appropriate means of fighting Obamacare. After all, it was “the next fight.” But as if on cue, some Republicans are already using the same Democrat talking points about the risk of default.
We are going to hear this erroneous talking point propagated by both parties over the next few weeks, so let’s put the myth to rest. The only way we default on the debt is if we fail to pay the interest on the public debt. According to the updated budget projection from the CBO, interest on the debt will be roughly $237 billion for 2014. Thanks to the short-term revenue benefits of the fiscal cliff and Obamacare tax hikes, the federal government is expected to rake in a record $3.042 trillion from the private economy this year.
Let’s engage in a simple math exercise. $3.042 trillion – $237 billion = $2.805 trillion. As long as the Treasury pays the first $237 billion in revenue to the shareholders of our debt, there will be no default, and we will have $2.805 trillion left to spend. Again, default is taken off the table. Discussion over.
What do you do with the remaining funds? You start funding core functions of government and those programs that people are already dependent on.
Social Security (retirement and disability) – $848 billion
Medicare – $505 billion
Medicaid – $298 billion
Defense – $582 billion
Veterans – $83 billion
Those expenditures account for roughly $2.3 trillion. The remaining half trillion can be prioritized as needed for other functions related to homeland security, national parks, or any other limited function.
Hence, the debt ceiling is a built-in balanced budget mechanism. If Democrats want to fund other functions of government, they need to commit to a balanced budget. If they want to fund the HHS and the IRS, they need to get rid of Obamacare. If they want to fund the EPA, they need to get rid of the war on coal.
The power of the purse manifest in the House of Representatives, in conjunction with the debt ceiling law, reflects democracy at work, especially with divided government. It’s time we stop peddling the myth of default, and start using our leverage to restore constitutional government and bring relief to those who are losing jobs and suffering from the high cost of living engendered by the harmful activities of the unconstitutional aspects of government.
I am with you 100%!
Thanks Sub-Driver.

In his press conference on January 14 of 2013, President Obama blamed Republicans for the massive federal spending of the last four years declaring that they must raise the Debt Ceiling “to pay their bills.” Republicans responded that Congress has not committed to spending because the president has refused to sign any budgets for the last four years. Obama and Senate Democrats have accrued $6 trillion dollars of debt through continuing resolutions that maintained the spending at the same rate as the year the government “bailed out” banks.
Federal Deficits since 2006 (budgets are allocated for the next fiscal year)
2006 Bush and Republican Congress - $167 billion
2007 Bush and Democrat Congress - $450 billion
2008 (*Bush) Obama and Democrat Congress - $1.4 trillion
2009 Obama, no budget passed - $1.3 trillion
2010 Obama, no budget passed - $1.3 trillion
2011 Obama, no budget passed - $1.2 trillion
2012 Obama, no budget passed - $1.1 trillion
*President Bush was supposed to be the signatory of the 2008 budget for 2009 spending that included the Stimulus, Omnibus, and bailouts, but Democrat Speaker Pelosi withheld the bill to be signed by Obama after his inauguration. Since then no budget has been passed, but the Democrat controlled Senate has passed Continuing Resolutions to maintain spending in violation of the law. President Obama insists that it was Bush’s bill and it was Republicans who authorized the massive deficit.
Democrats refusal to pass budget is illegal

Thanks!
They need to dump Rove, quit listening to polls and consultants, grow a pair and not be ashamed of having a pair.
