President Obama will not entertain any discussions about debt limit negotiations, National Economic Council director Gene Sperling told reporters Thursday.

Echoing President Bill Clinton’s famous 1996 declaration about the “era of big government,” Sperling said there is no space in Washington for members of Congress vowing to refuse to increase the debt limit, as they did in 2011 in a showdown solved with the sequester.

“The president has been crystal clear, the era of anyone threatening default has to be over,” Sperling said. “The era of anybody using the potential of default or tarnishing the full, faith andcredit of United States as a budget tactic or a negotiating tool has to be over. And so he’s made clear that he is simply not going to negotiate on the debt limit, that it is the responsibility of the United States Congress to authorize payments of debt that have already been obligated.”

finally the real deal, he is finally realizing if he leads on their responsiblities, they wil reject ans make it look like his bad because nothing got done.

it's time we start pushing the truth in the face of deception, Pres. does not spend nor has he spent any of the funds referred to by the right wing as over spending, blank checks, throwing money at...

they leave out their complicity and we never seem to jump on it like pogo stick so the people ae left believing Pres. running around on the gov't plastic burning a hole in his pocket, it's not true and he has to get an OK from those whoare now saying it's all his fault when they have the final word on any expenditures.

that it is the responsibility of the United States Congress to authorize payments of debt that have already been obligated.”

 “What’s in place right now is a sequester that was designed by both parties to be so stupid that it wouldn’t take place.

so sincetro republicans are refuing to do their part that would stop equester guess they really are the party of stupid and if they are allowe back on the playground it will get even more stupid.
