发帖数: 29846 | 1 Obama Says “Not Raising Debt Ceiling Is Absurd” But Voted Against It in
2006

President Obama used the final press conference of his first term to warn
congressional Republicans that he will not negotiate with them over the debt
ceiling, saying “To even entertain the idea (of not raising the debt
ceiling), it’s absurd.”
But back 2006 Barack Obama voted against raising the debt ceiling.
And in July 2008 Barack Obama said President Bush was “unpatriotic” and “
irresponsible” for raising the debt by $4 trillion.
(Barack Obama added $5.8 trillion his first four years in office.)

From the video:
“The problem is, is that the way Bush has done it over the last eight
years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our
children, driving up our national debt from $5 trillion for the first 42
presidents — #43 added $4 trillion by his lonesome, so that we now have
over $9 trillion of debt that we are going to have to pay back — $30,000
for every man, woman and child. That’s irresponsible. It’s unpatriotic.“
More… As Kevin Eder says: “Had Obama been President during the debt
ceiling debate of 2006, he would have been really, really mad at Senator
Obama.” |
