Democratic (socialist/fascist) de facto senator Barrack Hussein Obama, II (a.k.a. Barry Soetoro, Jr.), Esq., of illinois, speaking on the floor of the senate, argued against the request of Republican (fascist/socialist) de facto President George W. Bush (having received an unlawful advantage of 43 ineligible Electoral votes) to raise the national debt limit:

       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.

· · · · · ·

       I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase Americas debt limit

       NOTES:

• So much for conservative Republicans!
• As an attorney (Officer of the Court) Obama was ineligible to serve in two branches of government at the same time, according to Article I, Section 6, Clause 2.

       Postscript: Five years later, de facto President Obama (either a natural born subject of the United Kingdom enclave of Kenya, or a natural born resident of the republic of Hawaii) was pleading with CONgress to raise the national debt limit from 14,794,000,000 to 15,194,000,000 “dollars.”
