President Obama Seeks to Riaise Debt Limit to 16 Trillion

As if economic woes weren't bad enough, in the United States, President Barack Obama formally notified Congress on Thursday January 12 that he plans a $1.2 trillion increase in the U.S. debt limit, the proposed increase would push the debt ceiling to $16.394 trillion dollars.

Republican Senator Orrin Hatch of the Senate Finance Committee asked Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner to give details of the "extraordinary measures" being taken to stay under the limit, which has already been increased by $900 billion since last summer's debt fight to $15.194 trillion.

Notice that phrase "extraordinary measures". If the country can't be run on 15, 12, 8, or 2 Trillion it WILL NEVER be able to run on 16 Trillion. It seems as though Obama s running the country as his own private piggy bank.

It is plain to see that President Obama has absolutely no idea what he is doing as President.

When it comes to running a country, as it is with a typical business or corporation, it takes no skill to come up with some plan that will cost a fortune and is basically a gamble as to the effeciency of the plan. Nut it takes real leadership and vision when a leader can emerge and use what resources are available and dig the entity out of the whole it is in.

Again, it takes no skill and in fact is a sign of no skill, to just simply try and spend your way out of a dent problem.

I really really hope that this is the stray that breaks the camels back, politically speaking, and America see's what is happening and acts! One single act can fix all our woes and that act is to elect Ron Paul to President of the United States.

I do not say the previous lightly as I have always been very leery skeptical even of politicians. Especially in light of my history working as a Media Communications adviser for a major media company. I have always payed attention to political messages, analyzed them, and reported what they were "really" saying, let me add that most of the time politicians do not say anything and I mean that literally, it truly is sad that the American people are so easily swede by such fancy pants speaking.

The point is of all the politicians that I have covered only one consistently speaks truth and not double speak... and that is Ron Paul.

So I urge you to vote for Ron Paul 2012!
