The one from the great orator of course not receiving one vote from anybody and after the ONE calls for bipartisan support. LOL

Pathetic is all one can say. Three years now with no budget.

The Senate on Wednesday rejected every single budget being offered this year, leaving the chamber - and therefore the federal government - without a plan to address Medicare, Social Security and the other major entitlement programs that are driving deficits and debt.
In repeated votes, Democrats who control the chamber defeated four Republican proposals, including a plan that passed the House in March. The entire Senate also unanimously rejected President Obama’s 2013 budget, voting 99-0 against it, following a 414-0 vote against it in the House earlier this year.
“A stunning development for the president of the United States in his fourth year in office,” said Sen. Jeff Sessions, Alabama Republican.
Congress is required by law to pass a budget by April 15, then write the annual spending and tax laws to carry out the budget’s targets.

Talk about obstruction.

If they are not going to earn their keep by working then lets toss the bum liberals out in 2012.

5 years they have controlled the Senate with nothing to show for it but one disaster after another.
