Obama needs more credit just like a alchoholic needs more booze. What he really needs is an intervention. With medicare and SS expenses increasing every year the last thing we need is Obamacare!

Man, you guys keep relating increasing the debt ceiling to increased spending, we are all in agreement that spending must be cut and money taken in increased but the debt ceiling (as has been clearly shown over and over) is a separate issue. Holding the debt ceiling hostage to draconian spending cuts (effecting only the poor and middle class) is right wing bs...why is that so hard to see??
