Rep. Joe Walsh Accuses Obama Of Lying On Debt Ceiling

YouTube: Walsh "Have You No Shame, Sir"

Representative Joe Walsh (R-IL) accused Barack Obama of "lying" about the impact of not raising the national debt ceiling in the next three weeks and went on to ask, "Have you no shame, sir?" Walsh went on to say "President Obama, quit lying." He says there is "plenty of money" to pay debt and cover Social Security even if the limit isn't raised.

Walsh states Obama will not get congressional approval to increase the $14.3 trillion debt limit unless the Democratic president backs a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution, which Obama opposes. Obama says the country will default if Congress doesn't raise the ceiling by Aug. 2.

It's unusual for a member of Congress to bluntly accuse a president of lying. To back up his statement, the first-term lawmaker's office released figures showing estimated revenue for this year far outpaces the $213 billion interest payment.

A spokeswoman said Walsh is not alone in believing the country won't default. Presidential candidate Michele Bachmann, a Minnesota congresswoman, says the Treasury Department can pay interest on the debt and then prioritize spending

"You know darn well that if Aug. 2nd comes and goes there is plenty of money to pay off our debt and cover all Social Security obligations," Walsh says in the video, adding that Obama has media protection for "everything you say and do, but have you no shame, sir?"

Obama uses lies, class warfare, and fear-mongering in an attempt to get his way. His agenda is to destroy America and our economy. He wants to rebuild America as a socialist country.
