This is the leader we entrust with our economy - a President that could not even get ONE SINGLE MEMBER of Congress to vote for his proposed budget?

Obama budget defeated 99-0 in Senate - Washington Times

Proof where the problem is... Congress. Unless you have suddenly realized that Congress is great and that you being one of the very few who would say... "In Congress I Trust".

What is the approval rating of the congress, again?

^Oh I don't disagree about the dysfunction of Congress. But this is a slap in the face for the White House.

All we ever hear from the Left is that the GOP will not compromise with Democrats. What's really at stake here is that we don't have a President who is really interested in compromise....who's not really willing to reach out to the opposition to see if he can bridge the gap. He acts like he's interested in compromise, but he's really not. It's all a facade meant for public consumption, just like everything else Barack Obama does.

Politicians like Lyndon B. Johnson.....who personally involve themselves in the daily grind of legislating in order to get what they want......are nowhere to be found. Barack Obama pretends he's Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan, but if he really wanted something he'd do better to mimic LBJ.

The problem with this is that Barack Obama doesn't actually know what he wants. He throws crap at the wall, hopes it sticks, and when it doesn't he blames Republicans. That's the man-child we have in office right now. A pure amateur.

Certainly no need to since it got ZERO support and there's ZERO percent chance of a "tie". Hilarious!!!

Why wouldn't you address the approval rating of Obama's budget first?
