Obama: âWe are not a deadbeat nationâ
Posted by Felicia Sonmez on January 14, 2013 at 11:56 am
President Obama took aim at congressional Republicans on Monday as he argued that âto even entertain the ideaâ of failing to raise the federal borrowing limit is âirresponsibleâ and âabsurd.â
Twice he said, âWe are not a deadbeat nation.â
With a second debt-ceiling battle ramping up, Obama at his White House news conference used House Speaker John Boehnerâs (R-Ohio) words against him, contending that a failure to raise the debt ceiling would represent a âfinancial disaster not only for us but for the worldwide economy.â
