"The fact that we are here today to debate raising
America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure.
It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is
a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from
foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal
policies. Increasing America 's debt weakens us domestically and
internationally. Leadership means that 'the buck stops here.'
Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today
onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a
debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve
better."

Let's hope he remembers this quote and gets something positive
done about the debt. But let us also remember that these
kinds of quotes from politicians (quotes from the past) can be and
have been pointed out in regard to members of the left and the
right. I remember similar things about Mr. Bush.
Politics being what it is, we'll always be able to make this
kind of criticism about left, center and right politicians (and we
should!).
Right from the Horses mouth
