Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner announced to Congress that Obama wants complete executive control and power over the debt ceiling. 

Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas) said, "Well, it's outrageous," when asked by Fox News to respond to Obama's request to personally dictate the finances of the United States.  He went further to say, "It's profoundly irresponsible, so that's a crazy idea and I'm amazed that Secretary Geithner had the courage to float that yesterday." 

The debt ceiling can only be increased by Congress, but Obama wants complete control of America's debt. 

Obama's request is unconstitutional, but what else is new?  Article One of the Constitution gives the authority to borrow money to Congress, not the president.  Congress has to vote on an increase in the debt ceiling, which is a good check and balance.  There are 535 members of Congress, 435 Representatives and 100 Senators.  Among all of these, our representatives should be able to weigh the pros and cons well enough.  However, placing one man in the financial driver's seat of our nation is plain stupidity.  This is just another example of Obama's aim at chiseling away our US Constitution, as well as the rights of citizens. 

The Bible tells us that in the latter days, the world will be ruled by a dictator.  I do not say that Obama is the Antichrist, but there is a "spirit of Antichrist" which prevails among rulers and presidents throughout the world today.  There are officially 23 nations with dictators, yet even though many others do not carry the title, their presidents are such tyrants, the nations could, for all intents and purposes, carry the name.  For example, Russia's president Vladimir Putin can, and at times does, rule with an "iron fist" - no one really opposes him within Russia's governing body.

The Word of God says, "He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand or in their foreheads, that no one may buy or sell, except he who has the mark, the name of the beast (Antichrist), or the number of his name.  This is wisdom.  Let him who has understanding count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man and his number is six hundred, sixty-six" Revelation 13:16-18.
