Its Obamas when OBAMA SIGNED THE BILL, and then didnt reverse it in a budget proposal

Continue to blame the Republican because the President wont do his job..

Whatever it takes to defend failure I guess is ok to you..

I thought Republicans could only block bills, not pass them..

Isnt that what left wing kooks have been saying to explain why the economy isnt improving?

Did Republicans force the Senate and Obama to pass the bills? How exactly does that work?

Obama presented a Budget proposal that was rejected. From that point, if you understand the Budget process, it's up to Congress to write and pass a Budget that is acceptable. The Budget Control Act was Congresses answer to the fact that Congress could not come to agreement on a traditional Budget. Sorry that you seem to think people are dumb enough to believe otherwise.

Big difference compared to Obama's 3% cut.
Quote:
Meanwhile, Paul Ryan’s budget proposal, which passed the House but not the Senate, envisioned a 41 percent cut next year for the section of the federal government that includes FEMA. In addition, Ryan’s committee specifically pointed out that President Obama has declared a record number of disasters during his term.

Congress approves the budget. Potus cant sign or veto what doesn't come to his desk. Nice try though. That whole separation of powers just gets in your way.

So Obama holds no blame for bills HE proposes, and then HE SIGNS?

Isn't it, wasn't it the do nothing congress (majority of republicans) who could not get a budget together because of the tea party faction?

defer/deflect

I suppose the supercommittee is off the hook for blame?
Quote:
Even if the sequester doesn’t take effect, federal disaster relief still faces a hard cap for funding. Under last year’s Budget Control Act, lawmakers agreed to $917 billion in cuts over 10 years that would occur regardless of what happened with the supercommittee and the sequester

Why should the member stop now? he/she is on a bs roll.
Easily blames the prez. for congress' short commings,
the prez submitted his budget request,
and we see what happened,
NO COMPROMISE by the "T" and "R" parties. They can't even agree amongst themselves, not with mr. speaker afraid of his own shadow and mr. T cantor doing the poking of his back, they're all a bunch of gutless wonders.
