Obama administration: Debt ceiling deadline coming soon

New York (CNNMoney) – The Obama administration on Monday turned up the heat on Congress to raise the debt ceiling.

    America is about to find out obama is not as powerful as he thinks he is...he is what he is a second rate law school lecturer and community organizer... He lied to get elected and reelected, lied in his books, and stands before us daily lying and manipulating.... real righteous men don't lie, they don't have to.

      The funny thing is, he does not need the power nor does he want it. If members of Congress wants to strangle the country by not paying the bills they owe then they should go ahead and sign their own death warrants while they are at it.

    I know 20 year olds that have more fiscal discipline than a great number of our politicians from both sides of the aisle!

    President Obama should issue an executive order overriding Congress entirely in regards to the debt ceiling, just so we can all enjoy watching the republicans heads explode.
