Barack Obama,  Day By Day,  Mitch McConnell

Day By Day July 13, 2011 – Not Exactly Peanuts



Day By Day by Chris Muir

Senator McConnell’s plan for raising the national debt ceiling is ill-advised and questionably unconstitutional. The explosion of the debt is Obama’s problem and the GOP should make him own it. Instead the Republicans are allowing the President the opportunity to demagogue the issue and threaten cutting off senior citizen checks.

You will not obtain substantial spending reform on entitlements until after the 2012 elections anyway and you win a majority of the Senate and have a new President.

Republican leaders should quickly approve some bipartisan deal to raise the limit before the economy tanks further and the Democrats go to the airwaves blaming the GOP. This poor economy and high unemployment are Obama’s and Pelosi’s.

Make them own it and worry about major debt reform during the upcoming 2012 campaigns.
