President Obama's proposal was what he had been saying in the campaign, so why the surprise from the GOP leaders. The hypocrisy continues....
Pssst, it's not hypocrisy so much as it is brain washing, they listened to darth vader too much.

Obama's entire economic plan- tax for his favored goodies now and promise cuts some vague time in the future. Hmm, seems like I've heard that idea before.

Obama never identified any cuts before and now he wants to delay any discussion about cuts until next summer. Which means "I won, no spending cuts, just raise taxes".

Perhaps they shouldn't try to add Defunding of planned parenthood, Abortion laws, and repealing obamacare to bills that have nothing to do with any of the house democrat plans. That is what you mean isn't it ? Or do you really think the republicans in office actually work ?

Oh really? Obama campaigned on a new stimulus package and a 1.6T tax increase? I don't think so.

Nope. The ball is in Obama's court and personally, I think every Republican should wash their hands of this nonsense and say, "Yes, Massa, whatever you want Massa!"

This is Obama's mess. You voted for it. Own it.

You're another one that doesn't get it either.
Tax cuts + 2 wars= deficit
And once again, Obama doesn't own all of the deficit, government revenues took a dive in 2000. Government revenue has gone to the level of 1950.
