Deutsch Begriff oder Satz: Kreditsünder
The sentence reads as follows:

Obama liesse sich leicht als „Kreditsünder“ darstellen, der es angeblich nicht schafft, die Vereinigen Staaten ohne ein Anwerfen der Druckerpresse seitens der Fed zu finanzieren.

I would be grateful for any suggestions.

TIA, Caitriona

Erklärung:
Sündner would usually be translated as sinner or transgressor - but this is staying within the typical biblical context. A sinner is someone who breaks the law, in that case the ten commandments (the law given to Israel).
Taking it out of the biblical context, it remains a person, who is breaking the law. There you have a great choice of words: bad actor, black marketeer, blackmailer, con, convict, crook, culprit, delinquent, desperado, deuce, evildoer, ex-con, felon, fugitive, gangster, guerilla, hood, hoodlum, hooligan, hustler, inside person, jailbird, lawbreaker, malefactor, mobster, mug, offender, outlaw, racketeer, repeater, scofflaw, sinner, thug, transgressor , trespasser, wrongdoer, yardbird etc.

The context you provide is one of not meeting (re)payments without printing more money. This is very similar to common credit card delinquency http://www.investopedia.com/articles/pf/11/intro-to-credit-c...

Hence, I arrived at credit delinquent.

debt monger


Erklärung:
Expression reflects a style found in the tabloid press. But perhaps that's what we're looking for, at least in this instance.

"Debt offender" is another one that would fit nicely:

"Armstrong points out the the US is not the worst debt offender (although he does leave out unfunded liabilities in his analysis)."
