Obama is stupid by any standards.

"Now, this debt ceiling -- I just want to remind people in case you haven't been keeping up -- raising the debt ceiling, which has been done over a hundred times, does not increase our debt.”

In that case, there's no need to raise it.

[plain talk]

If raising the debt ceiling doe snot raise our debt and we don’t need to raise our debt then we don’t need to raise the debt ceiling. problem solved.

[rhubarbk]

This clown is mentally challenged beyond being 100% stupid.

[Zakeet]

Me thinks the Wee Wee got hold of some more weed!

[albie]

I thought you had to raise the debt ceiling before you could see what was in it.

[liberalh8ter]

Well gee, when you turn off the debt clock it doesn't increase. D’uh. Who knew that all you had to do was stop counting!

To paraphrase Mr. Obama: “Who gives a crap how much money I borrow? Someone else will have to worry about paying it back.”

“Obama: Raising Debt Ceiling Won’t Lead to More Debt”

No, but using it does!

[Joe Boucher]

Well it’s certain this Mo failed his high school economics class.
What a dumbass this “magic negro” is.

[bikerman]

It's obvious the person typing into the teleprompter isn't to bright either. or the speech writer who wrote it. Guess Obama cannot read Cursive to see what he is going on national television to report. Not the brightest bulbs in the lot I would say.

[Adder]

Well, technically, thats correct: merely RAISING the ceiling does not raise the debt. SPENDING to the new ceiling does that.

As it happenes over and over...some 100 times according to Zerobama Einstein.

[Daveinyork]

huh?

[WayneS]

I think this is what is known as a lie of omission.

The fascist-in-chief is correct that in and of itself, raising the debt ceiling does not raise the nation's debt. The omission, the part he leaves out, is that raising the debt ceiling does allow our voracious, ravenous, never satiated federal government to wantonly, recklessly and with malice aforethought, increase our nation's already staggering debt to new, previously unimagined levels; a task which they promptly and enthusiastically set about accomplishing the moment the debt ceiling is raised - every single time the debt ceiling is raised..

I wish I could believe that there is no one left in this country so stupid, gullible and/or bereft of decency, as to continue to believe Mr. Obama's wicked lies - be they lies of omission or his usual bald-faced lies. Unfortunately, that is not, and apparently never will be, the case. There are people out there who would defend this man if he were caught on live television murdering a baby.

Repeatedly raising the debt ceiling amounts to repeatedly taxing every nation that purchases oil on the open market and they're all getting tired of it and are looking for reserve currency alternatives. Once nations stop buying oil with US dollars, demand for dollars will plummet, interest rates will spike, paying the bills will become impossible, we'll go into full on Wiemar republic hyperinflation, and the US goes zombie apocalypse as the food stamp/welfare system collapses. This chain of events is already in motion. A strong dollar policy seems like it might help by instilling confidence in the U.S. dollar/ government/way of life. Repeatedly raising the debt ceiling does not instill confidence in the world's reserve currency, it instills resentment.

The Price of Politics

Debt and deficits impoverish us in ways we can only begin to measure.

Just like raising your credit card max won’t increase your credit card debt.

[austinaero]

And a red line is not a red line.

Keep the pressure on!

[caver]

The real problem is not this lying jerk but the ignorant 50% of this country that support him.
