No. I never said that. What I said was that unlimited borrowing power was a bad idea, and that the president had, however elliptically, asked for it.

The only thing I have heard the president ask for is for this next debt ceiling raise to be part of the fiscal cliff deal. To me at least, he gave a damn good reason for wanting them to be joined in the negotiations, guess time will tell.

That is why I object to all stories designed to rile up the Right by feeding them blatant misinformation, Obama never asked for an infinite debt ceiling, he just didn’t. Why don’t you blame McConnell for suggesting the plan in the first place if you think it is so terrible?
