White House: Obama would support short-term debt limit increase Jan 22nd 2013, 17:20 WASHINGTON | Tue Jan 22, 2013 12:20pm EST WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House on Monday welcomed signals by Republican leaders in the House of Representatives that they aim to pass a nearly four-month extension of the U.S. debt limit, saying the move would take away uncertainty over the issue. White House spokesman Jay Carney told a briefing that the administration believed the debt limit should be raised over the longer term instead of in incremental steps, but the shift by Republicans was a positive sign. President Barack Obama would not stand in the way of a short-term extension becoming law if it passed Congress, Carney said.
