A big showdown is underway in the U.S. Congress over raising the debt ceiling.

The Obama administration has warned that if lawmakers don't raise the debt ceiling, the U.S. economy will be crippled.

Will House Republicans ultimately give in on raising the government's credit limit or negotiate with Democrats for even bigger financial solutions?

Syndicated talk show host Kevin McCullough, author of the new book "No, He Can't: How Barack Obama is Dismantling Hope and Change" spoke about President Obama's understanding of the debt crisis.

He talks about whether the government's oil drilling will help lower gas prices, and what Washington should do to help American businesses recover from the sluggish economy, on CBN News Channel Morning News, May 19.
