The rest of the chamber, however, had other plans, sending Mr. Obama’s plan to a devastating 413-2 defeat as most Democrats joined Republicans in rejecting the fiscal year 2015 blueprint.
Mr. Obama’s 2015 plan, which he submitted to Congress in March, only a month late, was met with even less interest than usual. Most of his tax and spending proposals are unlikely to gain traction on Capitol Hill, and even Democrats rejected the president’s call for higher discretionary spending, which would break the agreement the House and Senate reached in December. Mr. Obama signed that agreement into law.
Reps. Jim Moran of Virginia and Marcy Kaptur of Ohio were the two Democrats who backed Mr. Obama’s plan, which calls for higher spending and higher taxes every year for the next decade — though it still never reaches balance.
Isn't it great having a community organizer as President? What a clueless buffoon. He's uninterested in budgets or responsible governance for that matter.
Lol.....I'm hardly shocked that Jim "We're Underpaid!" Moron from VA and Nancy Kaptur from Ohio actually voted for this disastrous budget. Moron is retiring (thank god) and Kaptur suffers from a rare condition called "mental midgetitis".

We have an out of control spending problem and more tax burdens ?!?! This is what all you liberals want huh ? Keep praising your king lol the burden lands on ALL of us.
Maybe you should report this strategery to your overseers in the Democrat Party. That way, they can vote for the budget to show that they do indeed support Obama's policies.
I am by no means defending our Criminal-In-Chief, but when was the last time any President had their proposed budget passed by the House, much less the rest of Congress?
For those who may not be aware, the answer is: NEVER!
President Wilson began the tradition (not a constitutional requirement) of sending a proposed budget to Congress. Since that time not a single proposed budget from the White House has ever been passed by Congress. Not one.
So is it really a surprise that the House completely rejected the President's proposed budget?
though Democrats said it was a useless vote and said the plan - which Republicans wrote to reflect the president’s budget — wasn’t actually Mr. Obama’s own plan.
The GOP staged similar votes in 2012, and Mr. Obama’s plan was unanimously defeated in both the House and Senate that year. Last year, Mr. Obama submitted his budget months later than the deadline, which meant the House didn’t even have his plan in time for its own vote.

Yes, everyone who disagrees with you is part of a massive conspiracy. They are all paid shills, brainwashed zombies, and/or part of the massive democratic hive mind
