The Quote of the Decade

Hypocrite!

"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 US Government cannot 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."

~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006



Back then, he was AGAINST raising the debt limit. Now, as the biggest spender to ever live in the White House, he wants to RAISE the debt limit and put us even deeper in a fiscal hole, and he's criticizing Congress because they don't want to go along.

It was so nice of him to give us this great quote for posterity -- SO, USE IT!
