Reason number TWO not to vote for Obama.

For the last 3 years, Mr. Obama has failed to get any kind of budget passed for this nation. That is right NO BUDGET FOR THREE YEARS.

In fact, Mr. Obama has submitted only 1 budget and that one budget got ZERO support from DEMOCRATS.

In the last 2 years, Republicans have passed budgets in the House and turned that over to the senate to take up. The democrat controlled Senate has FAILED to even consider a budget item for 3 YEARS.


Obama is silent. Obama is fine with a nation facing annual trillion dollar deficits not even having a blueprint for spending.


This alone is reason enough to NOT RE-ELECT Mr. Obama.

Actually it isn't the President's job to pass a budget, it is up to Congress to pass a budget, so basically you are upset with Congress not passing a budget.

Oh and I will be voting for Obama in case you were wondering, also I will not be voting for any Republicans for Congress.

More reasons:

A democrat / liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man, which debt he proposes to pay off with your money. - G. Gordon Liddy

Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys. - P.J. O'Rourke, Civil Libertarian

If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it's free! - P.J. O'Rourke

The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery. - Winston Churchill

1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.

2. What one person receives without working for...another person must work for without receiving.

3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.

Your correct in stating that it is the Congress that passes the budget, however, it is the President that proposes the budget. The problem is that Obama can not even put a budget together that his own party will accept. In 2012 the Senate voted 99-0 to reject his budget and the House followed with a 414-0 to also reject his budget. I think in other words, Obama has max out his credit card and they (congress) are taking it away from him.

Now they point fingers at and blaming Congress just like Obama did during the debate even though he knew he, Obama, the U.S. president had to sign the sequestration for it to become law but at the debate blamed congress.

Every president presents a budget. The House however as you point out is responsible for initiating the bill.

In the last 2 years, REPUBLICANS HAVE followed thru with their responsibility. HOWEVER democrats have FAILED in the senate, and the President has NOT said one single word.


This is a prime example of exactly how incompetent Obama is.

You support incompetence.
