Do you say anything other then it's all Obama?

The democrats and obama haven't put a budget in place, nor have they produced a budget in two years. When are they going to come to the table.

You may not like either of the two budget plans that the republicans have put together, but at least they have something on the table beside rhetoric.

Did you read the plans? Did they specify what cuts they would make? If they did why don't you list them?

Leaders Lead. Followers Follow. Do you understand? You cannot claim to be the leader of the free world and pass the leadership to someone else. It is why I prefer the Articles of Confederation over the Constitution. Antifederalism is the way to solvency.

Why don't you educate yourself as to the budget the House passed months ago? Senate Dimocrats of course just ignore it while offering no alternative. They have given the same treatment to the 4 appropriations bills passed by the House as well.

The issue is why haven't the President and Dimocrats made any kind of real effort to enact a budget? It took 7 tries for Clinton to achieve his famous balanced budget but the Dear Leader having no interest or experience in budgeting or consensus building simply refuses to lead in this area of core competency for the office.

Currently Congress is debating yet another temporary funding continuing resolution as we enter the Administration's third FY. Budgeting by fits and starts ought to disqualify the Dear Leader from receiving re-election support from voters.

Just a small example but that is a start.
The Tea Party did not have the numbers to pull that off. Not even close, not by a country mile...
