OBAMA WANTS ANOTHER HIKE IN DEBT LIMIT

President Obama is asking Congress to increase the national debt limit from $15.2 to $16.4 trillion and he wants it passed now.  That August deal that created the Super Committee provides for a $1.2 trillion increase that can be blocked only if Congress passes a “resolution of disapproval.”  If he makes the request, Congress has 15 days to pass such disapproval and they are not scheduled to return until January 17th.  Otherwise, Obama wins again and we get further in debt.

My comments are definitely not fit for print in this space.  WHO IN THE SAM HELL IS RUNNING THIS COUNTRY INTO A DITCH? 

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. How do you feel about Bush 1’s endorsement of Mitt Romney? (Ian ~ Calumet City, IN)
A. Sick to my stomach.  I didn’t like Bush 1, either.  The Republican hierarchy is surely pulling out all of the stops trying to derail Gingrich.  Maybe Charlie Sheen will run after all; let’s pray for that. 

Q. Why are you so down on Mitt Romney?  (Britney ~ Redding, CA)
A. Let’s start with the fact that he ordered all electronic data regarding his administration to be destroyed before he left office as Massachusetts’ Governor.  Let’s add that is refusing to open his income tax files for public scrutiny as other presidential candidates have always done.  And these are just the tip of the iceberg.  If they display to you the type of character you would like represented in the White House, you may as well go ahead vote for Obama.  Any time you get the Washington Republican “establishment” in favor of something, such as Romney, run like hell in the opposite direction. 

Q. I can’t believe what I am seeing.  The Republican hierarchy is pounding and hounding one of its own, Newt Gingrich.   And now, in Virginia where Newt had a strong command in the polls, they have arranged to drop him off the ballot.  This is really an ugly America. (Lewis ~ San Clemente, CA)
A. I agree with your sentiment; it is an ugly political America.  If there was another viable political party to take on the Obama thugs, I would switch in an instant.  On the good side, former Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee gave Newt a lot of praise last weekend, a fact that even the conservative media is not reporting.  

TODAY’S QUOTE:
After the $700 billion bailout, the trillion-dollar stimulus, and the massive budget bill with over 9,000 earmarks, many of you implored Washington to please stop spending money we don't have. But, instead of cutting, we saw an unprecedented explosion of government spending and debt, unlike anything we have seen in the history of our country. ~ Michele Bachmann
