Democrats demand Debt Clock not to be shown during their time.

I guess they don't like the numbers being there in front of them, reminding them exactly how much debt Obama and they are running up every second of the day.

Remember when 10 trillion was considered to be "Unpatriotic" by a certain Junior Senator from Illinois?

Some members of Congress apparently don’t like to be reminded about how much debt the country continues to rack up.

During a House Financial Services Committee hearing Tuesday on the budget, two Democrats complained after House Financial Services Committee chairman Jeb Hensarling instructed that two monitors in the hearing room display a real-time running national debt clock.

California Rep. Maxine Waters and Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison both issued complaints about the displays, according to video of the hearing.

“Clearly it is a political prop designed to message ideologically,” Ellison said.

Waters asked that the debt clock not be on display whenever Democrats spoke, Hensarling said during the hearing.

“At the request of the ranking member, the national debt clock will not be put on the screens during Democratic time,” said Hensarling, a Texas Republican.

Would that person also be a former community organizer?

He sure would.

I was surprised that he got away with calling a sitting President "Unpatriotic", that the Democrats didn't rise in anger at that comment.
