from 2006:
In 2006, Mr. Obama struck a high moral tone in opposing legislation to raise the debt ceiling. “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,” he said on the Senate floor.
Harry Reid---ditto
Why is it right to increase our nation's dependence on foreign creditors?” Reid said on March 16, 2006. “Democrats won't be making an argument to support this legalization, which will weaken our country.
Now, there may be principles involved in raising, or not raising the debt ceiling, but clearly, and by their own words, the dems, in 2006 were engaged in a simple political move to hurt the repubs.
I decried the debt then, I an consistent.
Too bad our democrat leaders are not similarly principled.
How can anyone trust anything they say, or even the reasons they give--They are shown to be pure political animals--unfit to lead or govern.
