Who said this and when?

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."

A) Sen. John McCain in 2008

B) Sen. Scott Brown in 2009

C) Sen. Jim DeMint in 2010

D) Sen B. H. Obama in 2006

Yes, you got it! That was the current president on the nation's debt crisis when it "belonged" to bad ol' George. What is the White House's current take on the issue?

I don’t see why anybody’s playing chicken with the debt ceiling. If we get to the point where we damage the full faith and credit of the United States, that would be the first default in history caused purely by insanity.

— Austan Goolsbee, White House Council of Economic Advisers, 2011

The Enders Shadow series follows bean through a whole mess of things unrelated to Ender. Its currently... 4 books long and soon a fifth should be out. They are now pretty much different serieses completely.
