Obama demands common ground

President Obama plans to keep talking with congressional leaders to find a way to raise the nation's debt limit.  If a solution isn't found by the Aug. 2 deadline, the country could be in default.

         Giving Credit

The president is calling for

Some sort of compromise.
To raise the limit on our debt
And heed the voters' cries.

He'll meet with leaders once again,

(Though he seems to find it grating)
While folks at Moody's all sit down
To check our credit rating.

Both sides, he says, must find a way

To do a little bending
To find some sort of common ground
For us to keep on spending.
