Obama has much different views today than in 2006

What a different a few years makes! In 2006 when Bush wanted to raise the debt limit, Obama was a junior smart ass Senator, and voted against it, giving a condescending speech on how irresponsible it was! Now, as he does so very well, he's talking out of the other side of his big mouth!

 Obama in 2006:

"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. … 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."
