Who Said This

Who said this?

Can anyone tell me who said this? Now sure you can Google it and find out, but without the help of our friend Google does anyone know who said these words?

"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 U.S. Government can’t 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."

These words are true, and a sad comment on what this country has become.

The even sadder thing is that they were said by then Senator Barack Obama in 2006. The one who called W unpatriotic for spending 4T in 8 years when he spent more then 8T less than 4 year. When today his "balanced" approach to managing the fiscal cliff is a 4-1 Tax increase to spending cut proposal. A proposal that also happens to push off the promised tax cuts to offset the last debt ceiling increase deal, and a provision giving him the power to increase the debt ceiling without congressional approval. Wow, that is really how you put forth a bi-partisan, proposal that is balanced.

Meanwhile Beohner fires 4 key libertarians from key committee positions because they have a backbone and don't want to see this country driven into the ground.

Our grand country has tipped, we have become a banana republic that is embarrassing. Our two party system has been hijacked and now we have only Republicrats bent only on their own self-preservation and personal wealth building. We have more takers now then givers and both parties fight each other to see who can give away more. Whether it is personal welfare or corporate welfare it is time to end it. The chance that liberty and the freedoms that America was founded on can survive are now in question.
