Obama Voted Against Raising Debt Ceiling in 2006 - All Democrats Did - So why the change?

Obama Voted Against Raising Debt Ceiling in 2006 - All Dems Did. The President made an admission along with many other dems that they made a "political" decision in 2006, instead of a fiscal one. They voted not to pass the CR, continuing resolution to to allow the federal government to operate. This was done while the republicans held the House of representatives and Bush was in office. It seemed to have paid off. Sounds like it paid off in getting Obama elected.

They take turns bending us over

@kristopheraugust : Thankfully, there are those out there that believe the United Stated constitution cannot be petitioned to appeal to special interests. Although this is not as blatant as Bush's attempt to outlaw same-sex marriages in he constitution, it still smells.

Hey lawman and Fox News...forgetting some details here? What this video does not go into is the fact that by 2006 THE GOP HAD ALREADY RAISED THE DEBT CEILING THREE TIMES: JUNE 2002, MAY 2003, NOV 2004, each time approved by Boehner, Cantor and uber blow-hard McConnell. And they raised it two times AFTER this as well. This video is a bunch of bullshit

Just more lies and cover-ups in order to gain power and money by the gov and gov controlled media. Nothing new there but we do need to stop the corruption and games that are played with our country for personal gain. Why is 24 hour video watch of all gov officials not required? Anything less allows for too much corruption and lies! It is time we started holding politicians accountable for their actions, like they hold us responsible for ours.

So fair and balanced....I notice how they didn't mention that all the Republicans voted yes for rasing the debt celing and now the majority of them are against it. This just proves they only vote for political gain not for the people!
