                  AMERICA NEEDS WHITE HOUSE LEADERSHIP

  (Mr. BROOKS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. BROOKS. During Barack Obama's 2 years as a freshman Senator, 
America's debt increased $400 billion. During Obama's next 2 years in 
the Senate majority, America's debt increased another $1.8 trillion. As 
President, Barack Obama drove up America's debt another $3 trillion. In 
Barack Obama's time in Washington, America's debt load has increased by 
more than $5 trillion. That's a 50 percent increase in just 6 years.
  Do you see the pattern? The longer Obama is in Washington, the worse 
America's debt and the weaker America becomes.
  What is President Obama's solution? Obama submits record-high budgets 
to Congress that continue Washington's unsustainable spending binge. 
Obama demands a debt ceiling increase with no spending cuts.
  Mr. President, America needs White House leadership. If you have a 
written solution to this debt crisis, please submit it. The American 
people deserve no less.
