“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. 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. I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America’s debt limit.”
Sen. Barack Obama
March 16, 2006
(In 2006, when this statement was made, the national debt was $8.27 trillion due, in part, to George W. Bush's "Failure of Leadership".)
