RE: President Obama demands quick action to raise debt limit
..... Presidents are supposed to be leaders, and to lead is to demand action on what they consider must be done NOW!. However it's the lawmakers who are the makers and the procrastinators, the postponers, the ones that shove important things aside, "to be studied further".
..... Presidents get a lot of advice from the very best people who actually know their stuff, and whatever any president, of any party, wants may really be worth doing.
