‘The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government can not pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that “the buck stops here.” Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.’
Senator Barack Obama – 2006
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

I do wish some member of the press would recite these words to the President, and ask where and when and why he uttered them. Just dreaming I fear…
Is he a bipolar & demented sick bastard, or just a lying piece of shit who hates capitalism??
He was from Kenya, before he wasn’t.
It’s not often I agree with your great leader!
But I do agree with the last three words.
They all say what everyone wants to hear to be elected, then once in power it is quickly forgotten.
If you disagree with him he’ll get his goons to chase you down in your SUV!

I think you are misinterpreting the situation. Obama thinks debating the raising of the debt limit is a failure of leadership. THAT is why he refuses to debate the issue. If he debates, he admits failure. This is based upon the post modern (aka prehistoric) notion that if you don’t identify something it doesn’t exist. Therefor he cannot be a failure.
More likely, in what passes for his mind, there is nothing do debate. He thinks he should have absolute power, an unlimited draw on a bottomless national treasury, and the “flexibility” to spend it all on whatever whatever he wants. Further, congress, the judiciary, and right to vote are unnecessary relics of a long dead past. The constitution? That was supposed to have been eliminated a century ago.
