If we have the capacity to pay our bills we wouldn't need to raise the debt ceiling. The truth is, Obama and the Democrats have been on a reckless spending spree. They have mortgaged our future revenues to buy votes while the economy is mired in stagnation from increased bureaucratic regulation.

The credit rating is not going to be downgraded simply because Congress won't authorize more borrowing, it will be downgraded because the prospects of us being able to pay for that borrowing it getting more doubtful given the history of the current administration.

The economic outlook is bleak not because of Republican's refusal to give Obama more borrowing power but because of Obama's refusal to stop wasting our resources.

Deficits don’t matter until they do — when the real world catches up with these pinheads.

Obama’s disapproval rating the lowest since he took office! Gallup and rass both have him -12. But Rasmussen has him -56 total disapproval.

That’s because we have a Triple F President and a Triple F Senate.

Wow! That’s good news.

Still, the political class luvs Bambi, and I doubt that even the Dems would dare to oppose him. I’m not sure why they are so scared of him, but they obviously are.

Even the Pelosi person is scared of him. What did he threaten them with?

I don't think they ever were going to downgrade our credit rating. This is more of the Cloward-Piven strategy of creating a crisis so that they can bring down our system. Obama KNOWS what he is doing and doing it well sad to say. To sound like a geek, he reminds me of the emperor in Star Wars, playing both sides and not revealing who he is until he destroys the Jedi. The GOP (gang of punks) are just like the jedi, not realizing until they are destroyed.

You don’t think the plans for that are already written? Science has come a long, LONG way since 1942...
