McConnell on The One, trying to Punt the Debt Limit Past the Next Elections

From, “All Talk, No Walk,” in the Weekly Standard, by Fred Barnes, at this url: http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/all-talk-no-walk_577603.html

“There is no economic justification for insisting on a debt limit increase that brings us through the next election,” McConnell said yesterday. “It’s not the beginning of a fiscal year. It’s not the beginning of a calendar year. Based on his own words, it’s hard to conclude that this request has to do with anything, in fact, other than the president’s reelection.” A vote next year would put a spotlight on Obama’s key political vulnerability, spending and debt.
