Raising the debt ceiling

The White House Economic team is saying that it's completely irresponsible and "dangerous" for Republicans to stall or vote no on raising the debt ceiling. Would this be regarded as hypocritical if their boss did exactly the same thing in 2006?

As senator, Obama voted no on raising the debt ceiling because it was a Republican in the White House. Was it reckless then? In addition, in 07 and again in 08, Obama was a non-voter for this same thing. So in these cases, was it not important enough to vote on these things?

Once again, Obama being hypocritical. And his policies/actions/statements fly in the face of "change we can believe in". As all non kool-aid drinkers now know, this was all just words..... no actions to support change he promised.
