President & Mrs. Barack Obama's disastrous spending sprees have caused near irreparable damage. 
NationFoxNews.com by Margaret Chadbourn (excerpts):  The White House plans to ask Congress for an increase in the debt limit before the end of the week, according to a senior Treasury Department official.  President Barack Obama is expected to ask for additional borrowing authority to increase the limit by 1.2 trillion.  Under the new budget, Congress can only vote to block the debt ceiling extension with a disapproval resolution.  Lawmakers have 15 days within receiving the request to vote down the debt limit increase.  The debt limit currently stands at 15.194 trillion and would increase to 16.394 trillion with the request. 

Commentary:  A trillion here, a trillion there, everywhere a trillion-trillion - what else is new with this president?  Economists say the US will never be able to recover from the damage President Barack Obama has already caused the nation.  In the event he isn't reelected, it seems inevitable that he is not going to leave without making further devastating blows to the economy.  "The wicked comes, then comes contempt, and with ignominy reproach" Proverbs 18:3.  "Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people" Proverbs 14:34.  The prophet Isaiah spoke about foolish people who would not seek Godly counsel, "They were all ashamed of a people that could not profit them, nor be of any help or profit, but a shame and also a reproach" Isaiah 30:5.
