A young, articulate Senator from Illinois made a passionate speech in the Senate while debating raising our debt limit. Read his words and absorb the truth in his statement. He said:
“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.”
The passionate Senator who spoke these words in March 2006 was Barack Hussein Obama who, in 2008 became our 44th President. Once elected he has repeatedly made raising the debt limit our new way of doing business.
Obama has clearly defined “failure of leadership” and, he, as a ‘self defined’ failed leader, must be removed from office in November 2012.
