Huffpo rhetoric Not fact: "the debt ceiling was raised 7 times without fanfare... No one made demands on Bush to do it... It was considered "clerical" and never politicized by anyone"

Obama Fact: "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," Obama said. The Senate narrowly approved raising the limit along partisan lines, 52-48, with all Democrats opposed.

Typically, the party that controls the White House has had to take the difficult vote to raise the limit, while the other party was free to criticize. An analysis of the past 10 years of votes on the debt limit from the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center shows the vote usually splits along partisan lines, with the president's party voting in support.

Now we have at least one of Bobert's secret sources for his famous "Bobert facts"

Lsssee, Dems had a majority in congress for 2007 and 2008 so they could vote down raising the limit or spending for those Bush wars so why didn't they? And why do they blame their actions on Republicans just like they did slavery?

Yup, they could have voted against the Jim Crow laws, anti lynching laws etc. along with the Republicans but?? I guess It was considered "clerical" and never politicized by anyone.
