Remember Obama voted against it when Bush was President. He called it unpatriotic to raise it. ncrenegade.com/editorial/obama-raising-the-debt-ceiling-does-not-increase-our-debt/Obama: ‘Raising the Debt Ceiling…Does Not Increase Our Debt’In a speech at the Business Roundtable headquarters in Washington, D.C., Obama dismissed concerns about raising the debt ceiling by noting that it’d been done so many times in the past: “Now, this debt ceiling — I just want to remind people in case you haven’t been keeping up – raising the debt ceiling, which has been done over a hundred times, does not increase our debt; it does not somehow promote profligacy. All it does is it says you got to pay the bills that you’ve already racked up, Congress. It’s a basic function of making sure that the full faith and credit of the United States is preserved.” Obama went on to suggest that “the average person” mistakenly thinks that raising the debt ceiling means the U.S. is racking up more debt: “It’s always a tough vote because the average person thinks raising the debt ceiling must mean that we’re running up our debt, so people don’t like to vote on it, and, typically, there’s some gamesmanship in terms of making the President’s party shoulder the burden of raising the — taking the vote.”

Truth is a always relevant to your opinion.
It is not so much that they buy the story, but that they realize that as the cuts are made they go first to the "BENEFITS" owed to the people and never to the frills of the Government.
They cut food stamps and let Michelle go on her tours and vacations.
They cancel 4th of July celebrations at military posts, but host thousands of Muslims at the white house prayer day.
The people feel that until the end they want what is theirs before the money runs out.
We the people have joined the unwashed line of "ME FIRST" demanders.

Truth is a always relevant to your opinion. In actuality it IS true what he says. If they raise the debt ceiling, as we all know they will do at the eleventh hour as they did in 2011, it WILL only allow those things that they previously approved to be spent. However it will again make them the heroes and the saviors and the ball turns another time. Till we the people begin recall elections for the spend and deny crowd it will never change. However having said this they will have to allow the SSI and State medical and the Government retirees to mis a payday to make it all work. big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/debtlimitletter.pdfWe the people are not ready for our freedom till we get over expecting our benefits.
