Wonder if he has been fitted for a crown yet? (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/12/06/obama-debt-ceiling-demand-complicates-fiscal-crisis-talks/)

But Obama's latest demand -- the ability to approve automatic increases in the debt ceiling -- has only complicated the already-shaky talks. And Republican lawmakers this week sought to prove that the provision wouldn't even clear the Democrat-controlled Senate.

If the GOP folds on this we're doomed.

What an outrage. Obama wants to remove the one last brake on a runaway spending spree that will ruin our nation. I swear I'm starting to think he really is here to destroy us. I don't know how anyone can be so naive, so financially irresponsible.

You think Greece can't happen here? Sit back and watch the fun.

Oh yeah, it can happen here, and if it does I can promise you that it will not be any fun at all. And it will be way deadlier than anything that has happened in Greece, or anywhere else in Europe since Nazi Germany.

Exactly. It will be a level of economic upheaval on the scale of the depression that caused WWII. That sounds alarmist, but that's exactly how WWII started in both Europe and the Pacific. If the US economy fails it will ripple through the planet. it won't just be us facing those grave risks.

Forgot to mention the brutally obvious: it's unconstitutional. Congress has control of and responsibility for all spending. Authorizing debt is clearly a Congressional responsibility. I would hope they are right and even Democrats wouldn't support such an outrageous request.

WE are quickly moving towards completely ignoring the Constitution on the whole. But IMHO, we all should have paid much closer attention to this guy when he made the statement that the Constitution wasn't really important, and that it is simply a 'guideline', or something to that effect.
This guy may have been born here, but in reality, during the most formative years of his life, he lived outside the United States. Again, IMHO, this guy has no earthly idea what we are about as a country and a nation-state. He clearly does not "get it". His world view of the U.S. is foreign in every conceivable manner.
His mentor, introduced to him by his maternal grandfather, was a card carrying avowed Communist, and his natural father was a Communist as well. His step-father too. Unfortunately, he is the wrong guy in the wrong place at the wrong time for the United States of America, and he is doing everything possible to co-opt our sovereinty(spelling?)and turn us into just another third world country like Kenya and Indonesia. And I feel pretty sure that he will succeed in his endeavors because of all the support he somehow has generated among many of our own citizens(and many others who are here who ARE NOT U.S. citizens but enjoy all the benefits thereof because of his socialist policies).
The last 4 or 5 years have not been good in any way for us as a nation, and I am confident that the next 4 years or so(and honestly, it appears we are going to have a Democrat/Socialist POTUS for many years to come due to the election process being rigged in the favor of the Dems)will be even worse. I do not see Congress keeping us from going over that 'fiscal cliff', our credit rating will be downgraded again soon, and with all of the new taxes looming on the horizon, we will be finished as a nation. Yeah, we'll still be the United States of America, but with a lot less clout and world influence and a lot less respect. We will have ceased to exist as the nation we all knew growing up here.
My Sicilian immigrant turned U.S. citizen father must be rolling over in his grave right now.

We could start by boycotting those who advertise with any liberal media production starting with their news programs. Newspapers, magazines,and television. They have not been held accountable.
