If this is true, Senator Obama was guilty of trying to bring about Armageddon in 2006 when he voted against raising the debt limit.

WASHINGTON (AFP) — The White House warned Republicans on Monday that failing to raise the $14.29 trillion US debt limit would spark “Armageddon-like” consequences for the slowly recovering US economy.

“The consequences … of failure to raise the debt ceiling would be Armageddon-like in terms of the economy,” said White House spokesman Jay Carney.
