"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure." --Senator Barack Obama, 2006

Judge not, lest ye be judged.  Matthew 7:1 is  a verse that President Obama should consider when he chooses his words.  When he stated the above statement, the debt was a staggering $8.2 Trillion dollars ($8,200,000,000,000).

In 2007, Nancy Pelosi became Speaker of the House and the Democrats took control of the purse strings.  Since, the debt eclipsed $14 Trillion dollars ($14,000,000,000,000) this week.  In addition, former Speaker Pelosi had the audacity to say at her final press conference as Speaker the following: 

"Deficit reduction has been a high priority for us. It is our mantra, pay-as-you-go."

I am not here to let the Republicans off the hook.  The reason the Democrats were elected in 2006 and had a landslide election in 2008 was their own out of control spending.  Strangely, the Democrats believed they received a mandate to bankrupt our republic.

Back to the President, when he was a Senator, he made very judgmental statement and was able to vote against raising the debt ceiling at a politically expedient moment when the vote was already decided.  Since we also can evaluate one's actual thoughts through their subsequent actions, after 2 years of a President Obama regime, he has not met a spending bill he does not like.  I am anxiously awaiting the White House press corps to aggressively inquire about that statement.  For some reason, I think the White House press corps will overlook that statement.

I am certain the press corps will repeatedly point out how the Republicans did vote to raise the debt limit when it happens.  I wish the Republicans would submit a budget that slashes all budgets by 50% across the board.  The U.S. Government is no longer an entity that serves a purpose for common good but it has merely become a great big entitlement program consisting of a bunch of other entitlement programs.  If the congress is serious about preserving liberty, then it must start by a massive overhaul and not a token $100 Billion dollars ($100,000,000,000).  When $100 Billion is now mentioned as a token amount, then we know we are in trouble.
