Democrats urge Obama to be ready to bypass Congress on debt cap

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Top Democratic senators urged President Barack Obama on Friday to be ready to raise the debt ceiling without congressional approval in order to avert a damaging debt default.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and his leadership team said Obama should use "any lawful steps" under his authority to "ensure that America does not break its promises and trigger a global economic crisis."

They urged Obama to act on his own if Republicans insist on a debt limit extension that is coupled with "unbalanced or unreasonable" spending cuts.

Is it any wonder people are fed up with Congress? Harry Reid is now in the process of making Congress irrelevant. Hasnt offered a budget in years, hopes Obama will use executive privlage to outlaw guns, and now this???

Folks, the leadership in our country is ...well, crooked! The Constitution apparently means nothing to these guys. We are supposed to have a balance of powers in our goverment, but what we are getting close to is a dictatorship ...rule by the elites.

Harry Reid and his "we don't need no stinkin budget" is why we keep seeing kassive deficits. He shoulda been gone a long time ago.

I am confused though. You think we are getting closer to a dictatorship, yet you are on the anti-second amendment bandwagon.
