You decide if this quote by Barrack Obama on March 2006 is one for the ages. Just remember, these words came from the lips of Obama (SEE complete story - http://www.nationalreview.com/corne...vote-against-raising-debt-limit-andrew-c-mcca).
Just like George Bush Sr., when he said, "Watch my lips! No new taxes!" This quote may come back to haunt the Obama campaign for re-election.
“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 H. Obama
