Obama has broken a few dozen promises that he could have done without congress. You want to treat him to a different standard and make him responsible for nothing.
Bush was a bad president. Obama is on that same path...perhaps if you and his fans would hold him accountable he would actually have to fulfill his promises.
I would love to know what these promises are and how he can get passed congress without Republicans going nuclear.
Obama is not on the same path as Bush, saying so is to be ignorant of the world around you.
We do not hold him to a different standard, YOU do. That is the problem, you cons had no problem with Bush and what he did until after he left office. Then you all became "patriots" or what have you.
there is also that little difference in ideology. I love how Cons always say that line "if you and his fans would hold him accountable he would actually have to fulfill his promises. " as if you actually agreed in the promises he made.
1.It is not a law that the president submit budgets. It is a congressional rule that the president summit one by the first Monday of February.
2. Its hypocritical for Republicans to attack president Obama for doing the exact same thing Republican presidents did which they had no problem with.

"It is not a law that the president submit budgets. It is a congressional rule"
"The Congressional Budget Act of 1974 requires that the President of the United States submit to Congress, on or before the first Monday in February of each year, a detailed budget request for the coming federal fiscal year, which begins on October 1. Prepared by the president and the president's Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the president's annual budget request performs three key functions in the annual federal budget process:"
WOW. Thank you so much for clearing that up. I guess we don't have to obey the "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" because it is only a rule. Whew!
Legislation, many time it is called an "Act" and is LAW, NOT a rule.

Monday marked the deadline set in law for President Obama to submit a budget, but he missed it — making this the fourth time in his five years in office that he's failed to submit the blueprint on time.
That makes his record equal to the three previous presidents combined, who spanned 20 years in office.
White House press secretary Jay Carney defended the administration, telling reporters traveling with the president to Minnesota for a speech about gun control Monday to focus on "substance over deadlines."
Mr. Carney declined to say when Mr. Obama will present a budget.
Why would he bother he does not care about the law or the constitution
Yet it is okay for Cons to give Bush a PASS when he didn't submit a budget on time? A bit of a double standard if I don't say so myself. Honestly though, I could care less if Obama or Bush ever submitted a budget on time because it isn't the president's job to create and pass a budget, all the president can do is suggest what the budget should look like and basically lobby for his plan.
If the Cons in Congress really cared about the budget, they would of already passed one.
Please explain how the "Cons" can bypass the DEM controlled Senate.

The CBA is unconstitutional, since the constitution explicitly states that all spending bills MUST start in the House of Representatives. No president has ever bothered to challenge the CBA in court, and no enforcement action has ever been taken against a president who didn't submit a budget "on time".
It still doesn't matter, it is Congress who puts together and passes a budget, all the president can do is submit a suggestion. You guys are freaking out that he didn't submit a suggestion in them like it would of matter if he did. It would of just sat around for months until Congress started to deal with it...which they would of just kicked the can down the road anyway.
I am NOT surprised this is over your head.
The President is REQUIRED BY LAW to submit a budget. As the President don't YOU think he should obey the law, as he swore to do, and set the example for the rest of the Country?
"The President's budget contains detailed information on spending and revenue proposals, along with policy proposals and initiatives with significant budgetary implications."
