At least per the always astute Sheila Jackson Lee. Hmmm... didn't a certain junior Senator from Illinois once vote against raising the debt ceiling back in about 2006 and call raising it a failure of leadership on the president's part?  Now what was his name?

Senator Barack Obama for a $1000 Alex!  Lee is a moron, trying to place the race card on this.

 

 

 

Semator Obama:

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.

In 2007 and in 2008, when the Senate voted to increase the limit by $850 billion and $800 billion respectively, Obama did not bother to vote. (He did vote for TARP, which increased the debt limit by $700 billion.)

'''''At two separate points, Jackson Lee allegedly told Floyd, “I don’t care anything about your disability,” and later when asked about making adjustments to accommodate her disability the lawmaker allegedly told her chief of staff, “I don’t give a **** about her disability,” according to the lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for D.C.''''''

 

That's going to be hard to ignore. Of course, it's all alleged.

That is, nobody in their right mind.

And do they also give speeches blaming the debt limit crises on the president?  Obama has to hear this repeated ad nauseum. Hope he likes himself telling him he is an idiot.
