"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 U.S. government can't 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."

--- Quote from then-Senator Barack Hussein Obama on the increasing the debt limit, which he voted against in 2006, as recorded in the Congressional Record for the Senate S. 2237-8 March 16, 2006.  He never even bothered to vote on the debt limit in 2007 or 2008.  Change!
