debt ceiling

it really boggles my mind that something like 60% of polled americans are opposed to raiseing the debt ceiling, and also that a plurality of voters view obama as to blame for this debt ceiling crisis.

so i am curious not so much as to your opinion on what is going to happen, but as to your opinion on how the american people, or people across the world will percive it? do you think that americans are really stupid enough to fall for the republicans destroying the economy to make obama look bad?

Republicans are offering bill's, 5 total so far, and all of them have been vetoed by Obama. Republicans are now calling for Obama to release his plan, but he has not answered this plea for the last 3 days. Obama continues to blame bush for all of his problems. Yes bush is partly to blame, but really it is the American trend in spending that we have allowed to occur in the last 40 years. Also, it is the democrats in the senate that announced yesterday that they would not allow any bill from the house that didn't raise taxes to pass. Here lies the problem of federalism, checks and balances produce major gridlock.
