Hikes in the debt ceiling - without any political demands from the opposition party - had been routine until President Obama took office.

If it took multiple debt ceiling hikes, I'd rather achieve the savings.

There is no debating that, under President Obama, corporate profits are at their highest levels in decades.

As President Obama is inaugurated for a second time, the biggest political surprise is that gun control is now key to his political legacy.

I always think a debt ceiling is a good tool to carry something.

There was no avoiding the fact that we were going to hit our debt ceiling.
