Our incompetent white house occupant can't even get a single vote for his budget!

So was it his plan or was it not his plan?

 

Ahh so a rival of the President said it "faithfully represented" the President's plan......

So it wasn't his plan....

Got it....

So why the thread?

 

paraphrasing Patton, you defeat Rommel's plan, you defeat the man.

 

Two can play that game!

Senate Republicans Vote Overwhelmingly For Controversial GOP Budget

Nearly all Senate Republicans joined their House colleagues in risky territory Wednesday by voting in support of the controversial GOP budget, authored by Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) — a blueprint for the country’s future that has become a political lightning rod and a defining document for the 2012 elections.

Among it’s most contentions features, the plan would phase out the existing Medicare program and replace it with a subsidized private insurance system for seniors; dramatically slash Medicaid spending and hand the program over to the states; cut food and nutrition programs for poor people; and allow interest rates on student loans to double; all while dramatically reducing taxes, particularly on wealthy Americans.

It’s a governing agenda many Republicans would like to wash down the memory hole. But over the past year it’s become a Kryptonite touchstone for conservative purity — a plan most Republicans feel compelled to support, but which they understand to be politically deadly.

The final vote was 41-58, shy of the 51 required for passage. The Senate GOP boxed themselves in to support of the framework by overwhelmingly voting for a similar plan last year. The budget votes in 2011 proved politically disastrous for Republicans, who had misjudged the midterm election results as enthusiasm for far-right policies. It turned out to be a dramatic overreach, and Republicans have expended a great deal of effort in the months since trying to fight Democrats to a draw on Medicare and force them into voting for major cuts to that program.

But they’ve been unable to walk away from their agenda — and Democrats were thrilled to force their GOP counterparts to embrace it all over again on the Senate floor.

Republicans used the opportunity to embarrass President Obama, by proposing a rendition of his own budget — it failed on a 0-99 vote.

Sens. Pat Toomey (R-PA), Rand Paul (R-KY), and Mike Lee (R-UT) also introduced their own, vastly more conservative budget resolutions Wednesday.

 

I tell ya, those damn Republicans...the party of NO!

 

Hey look ****ty political games created by complete dumb-asses for the consumption of complete dumb-asses.

 

Bush's fault.

 

Twisting situations to fit your rhetoric again, try to come with some facts bro, or join the good guys.

 

How do you submit a budget without talking to members of your own party to make sure it has support?

Just utter incompetence.

 

Yeah, I'm sure that's just how it went down; The President just sent a budget over willy nilly and it was so bad no one supported it. If only he had an Office of Legislative Affairs or maybe an Office of Management and Budget.

If only they had learned their lesson .... last year when the same thing happened.

 

Is "White House Occupant" the right wing term for "President" coined to make it sound like he is occupying the place rather than elected there by Americans?

Bunch of sore losers.

 

Translation: "I am a shameless partisan hack not interested in dealing in facts or ideas, just spin and nonsense."

 

Thank citizen's united for the amount of time someone has to fundraise.

Mr Obama has been a remarkable president under the circumstances and he deserves another 4 years.

 

THE REPUBLICAN HOUSE WON'T EVER MAKE A DEAL WITH HIM. THEY CHOOSE TO OBSTRUCT GOVERNANCE.

besides when he does govern with the powers of the Executive Branch, you holler that that he is a dictator.

YOU ARE ALL POLITICAL HYPERBOLE WITHOUT RATIONAL THOUGHT.

 

Thankfully this is the last year he'll just throw crap on the wall hoping something sticks.

As far as L-poster here, not one response to the issue that his budget stunk even to his own party. Pathetic. He's sooooooo cooked.

 

You don't believe that but you'll throw out your faux anger to make yourself feel better. Tell you what, care to make a bet? I say Obama gets 4 more years, you say he doesn't (lol). How about a 4 year sig bet?
