That's good if that happens it should shift voting into republican side for next few elections which is exactly what USA need.

Through I saw Obama already is trying to shift the blame on republicans.


It's interesting how the debt ceiling is only an issue when the democrats are in charge. This same kind of dirty play was used in 1995 when Gingrich tried to limit the debt ceiling on Clinton. Funny enough, Clinton left with a deficit surplus, and I don't recall any debt ceiling crap like this when dubya was in power, then all of a sudden they have a > 1 trillion defecit when he leaves. You really think that's what America wants again?

Not really. In 2006, every single Democratic senator voted against raising the debt ceiling. Some of them, including Obama, even gave some pretty impassioned speeches as to why it was the wrong thing to do.

And there never was a Clinton surplus.
