Democrats Plan Maneuver to Allow Obama to Raise Debt Ceiling

Senate Democrats say they'll advance a bill giving President Barack Obama the authority to raise the debt ceiling unless two-thirds of Congress disapproves, according to a Senate Democratic aide.

The issue of increasing the borrowing limit and avoiding an unprecedented default is fast becoming a central focus in Washington — and comes as ordinary Americans say they're deeply dismayed with the week-old government shutdown, and are finding blame with both Republicans and Democrats.

"It looks like there is more than enough blame to go around and both parties are being hurt by the shutdown," CNN Polling Director Keating Holland said.
