As President Obama prepares to raise the debt ceiling -- after the Senate waived its opposition last week -- $5 trillion hikes evidently are no longer "unpatriotic" as Obama said they were in 2008 while describing former President George W. Bush's $4 trillion increase over eight years.
Such increases used to be anathema to Obama, who voted in March 2006 along with all his Senate Democratic colleagues against Bush's hike of the debt ceiling to $8.9 trillion.
At the time, Obama called raising the debt limit "a sign of leadership failure." Out on the campaign trail in July 2008, he suggested the move was downright un-American.

Trite phrases and childish images are well and good for receiving applause from a partisan crowd, but they are utterly meaningless. As meaningless as Lord Churchill's notions about what life means to ordinary people.
Just as it’s always been throughout his tenure.
On nearly everything he campaigned on and nearly everything he’s said.
Do as I say…Not as I do.
I'm no fan of Obama, nor do I think he is doing anything to repair America. But as far as destroying it, THAT YOU CAN THANK YOUR REPUBLICAN PARTY FOR.
