Jan 2013

He explained what the debt ceiling was and why it is important to raise it and the consequences of not raising it.

He also make it clear that the GOP is the problem.

Chuck Todd, trying to make shit, asked President Barack Obama whether or not he would invoke the 14th Amendment in order to raise the nation’s debt ceiling without Congress’s approval.

Obama told him that if the House and the Senate want to give him that authority in order to avoid making the tough votes he would be happy to take it.
