If debt ceiling not raised...........

President Barack Obama's chief economic adviser warned Sunday that "the impact on the economy would be catastrophic" if Congress fails to raise the debt ceiling. "This is not a game," Austan Goolsbee, chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, said. "You know, the debt ceiling is not something to toy with." The government could default on its obligations if it hits the current $14.3 trillion limit on borrowing. Some Republicans are expected to hold the debt ceiling hostage in exchange for tough spending cuts.Link

Judge allows Obama to order assassination.

On Dec. 7, the case before U.S. District Court Judge John Bates in Washington, D.C., was described by him as presenting stark and perplexing questions: Can the president order the assassination of a U.S. citizen without first affording him any form of judicial process whatsoever, based on the mere assertion that he is a dangerous member of a terrorist organization? Bates dismissed the case, thereby greatly pleasing defendants President Barack Obama, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and CIA Director Leon Panetta. The plaintiff was Nasser al-Aulaqi, acting on behalf of his son, Anwar al-Aulaqi, who could not bring the lawsuit himself because he is hiding in Yemen, having been placed on a kill list by Obama that is being implemented by Gates and Panetta.Link
