Midknight Review -- new and revised: Understand that "shutting down the government" is not the same thing as "defaulting on our debt," not even close.

We collect 60% of the money we need to get all the things the dreamers in Washington want to do. The point being, we have enough money to pay the intestest on our debt -- a thing called "servicing our debt." If Obama decides not to service the debt and trys to blame it on the GOP, well, shame on the media. What to do with the revenues coming in on a daily basis, is all up to Obama and his Treasury Department. That is the way things work under the Constitution. We have enough funding in hand to pay our Vets, the interest on our debt, our Senors and a number of other concerns.

"Shutting down the government" is a very specific term. It includes sending some federal employees, home, and closing individual federal agencies for a time, but, it does not include the notion of debt default. For Obama to state otherwise, is a blatant lie, used by Obama to pass blame to the GOP and introduce fear into the discussion. It is a bullying tactic, used by the Chief Community Organizer, plain and simple.

Obama then:
"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 HUSSEIN OBAMA, MARCH 2006

On other occasions, he, also, categorized the continuing conflict over raising the debt ceiling as "unpatriotic."

Obama now, posits a totally opposite position, as politics dictate:
“Not to raise the debt ceiling would be irresponsible.” -- Jan 14, 2013.

If the buck stops "here," now is the time for that. Because others have used the same verbiage, makes no difference at all. Ten wrongs do not make a "right."

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
