our President has had 4 years and has done nothing but dig us deeper into debt and disregard every fucking American and the US Constitution, as well as the fact hes a liar and a criminal despite, hes a Parasite and nothing else save for a puppet for his masters, humanity and mother Earths welfare are NOT amongst them. Wake up all the current controls and controllers need to be done away with, we dont need them any more all humans wish simple lives and peace and to raise their kids.

The deficit was $6 trillion in 2003 and growing with a Republican led Congress. Where were the deficit hawks? If one dime of deficit is so bad where was the uproar then?

Debt ceilings are there for a reason, they are to limit the ever-expanding role of government growth and loss of civil liberties.

Q: Where did the money come from to raise the debt ceiling? It's not enough to blame Bush. A: the federal reserve who is bankrupting our country by making prices go higher and our money worth less. Sorry people time to wake up!

Whats funny is that the people that support the republicans have lost their jobs by the hand of a GOP governor cutting funds to teachers, officers, firemen. And they are so clueless, they still blame obama. Republicans have cut jobs by the tens of thousands on purpose to blame obama for a bad economy. How anyone can support ruining the lives of so many ppl just to see the black man fail is just sad. You are a sad person. Give up your job to these ppl if you hate obama so much. Time to grow up
