BO Took Oath with Fingers Crossed

 What exactly is the debt ceiling? Simply, the debt ceiling is a cap on the amount of money that the U.S. government is allowed to owe, (both public and private).  Think of your credit cards. You use it until it reaches the limit. Then the credit card company tells you that because you've got such good credit, that they are going to raise the limit. Your "debt ceiling" will be raised until they look at what you have got coming in vs going out. Then they say, so sorry, no more. You end up paying on it until you die and then your kids have to assume the debt. 

BO gave a speech about the debt. "I'm the President of the United States, (He is trying for King), I want to make sure that I am not engaging in scare tactics, (Seen the commercials where Republicans pushed Grandma off the cliff?), and I've tried to be responsible and somewhat restrained so that folks don't get spooked. August 2nd is a very important date and there's no reason why we can't get this done now." BO said about the debt ceiling.  Obama submitted his budget which got zero, none, nada votes.This didn't bother him.  I have wondered why. (A little voice in my head said, "Do your own homework.")

BO does not care if he gets Congress to give him more money or not.  He's already planning to go around the Constitution.Obama re-interpret Section 4 of the Fourteenth Amendment to justify raising the $14.3 trillion debt limit has been gaining traction in Democratic circles since Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner told reporters that the Constitution's language could support the president's raising the limit without congressional approval.

'The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for the payments of pension and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion' -- this is the important thing -- 'shall not be questioned,' " Geithner read during a discussion hosted by Politico in May.

Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., and others on Capitol Hill reportedly acknowledged that the idea is percolating, and had been presented to the president. Obama knew about it.

Without addressing efforts to invoke the Constitution, Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., said Sunday the president and congressional negotiators shouldn't even be discussing a debt deal privately. Ha, ha, ha. Obama says his administration is the most transparent...ever.

"Congress is the constitutional place for this to be decided," said Sessions, who is the ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee.

BO was asked during a press conference, (Does thatbn make a total of 6 now?),whether the debt limit was constitutional, the president glossed over the question, saying, "I'm not a Supreme Court justice, so I'm not going to put my constitutional law professor hat on here." In other words...YES! By the way, can he prove that he has a constitutional law hat?

Members of Congress from both parties have criticized Obama for involving the United States military in the Libyan civil war without congressional authorization. The matter was authorized by a United Nation’s resolution, which does not call for regime change. Obama and other NATO allies have said Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi should not remain in power. The first worry ought to be Iran now weeks away from going nuclear. Since when does NATO, the UN and Obama get to make God-like decisions.

Media Matters for America (MMfA) is a progressive media watchdog group self-described as "dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation, (They're saying only conservatives lie?)in the U.S. media."Set up as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, MMfA was founded in 2004 by journalist and author David Brock.

October 20, 2010- George Soros announced that he has given $1 million to Media Matters “to hold Fox News accountable for the false and misleading information they so often broadcast. (They could not prove ever one!)Media Matters has received funding from or formed partnerships with several groups that Soros funds or has funded. These include the Tides Foundation, Democracy Alliance, Moveon.org and the Center for American Progress.

June 24, 1011- Doug Heye, "U.S. News" Media Matters for America actually is doing, however, moves far afield from identifying possible bias to mounting a campaign to undermine a major media outlet and to promote the Democratic Party and progressive causes associated with it.” In plain English, YOU and I are paying for the free pass that Pinocchio's been given by the media.

The 2011 Long-Term Budget Outlook, released last week said, "the combination of automatic budgetary responses" and Obama's stimulus "had a profound impact on the federal budget." (No kidding?)According to CBO before Obama's stimulus became law, federal debt equaled 36 percent of GDP and was projected to decline slightly over the next few years. Instead the stimulus, debt reached 62 percent of GDP by 2010. 

Obama is on record calling for reducing what he calls “spending in the tax code,” a euphemism for getting rid of the Bush-era tax breaks for citizens and business owners earning more than $250,000 a year.

This is not good. We have a man who has the ability to incarerate literally anyone, (except terrorists and ilegal aliens), and he will not play by the rules. The rules in the case are the U.S. Constitution.If you have any comments please leave them here. For any questions email Carolyn@CarolynsVoice.net
