Directly from the article. The House and Senate unamimously voted against Obama's budget. For the second year in a row.
I said they would not vote against his original plan. his original plan was not the bill that made it to the floor as your own article states.

You are deliberately leaving out the context of what i said.

The budget committee has been controlled by Democrats since 2007. If it was amended, it was by their own dam party..

Something that happens EVERY YEAR, under EVERY PRESIDENT, but I guess you think Obama is too incompetent to follow it through

Jeff Sessions told the Democrats if they showed what was different between the budget brought to a vote and Obama's budget, he would ammend it. But not one Dem. could point out a difference.

Quote:
Democrats disputed that it was actually the president’s plan, arguing that the slim amendment didn’t actually match Mr. Obama’s budget document, which ran thousands of pages. But Republicans said they used all of the president’s numbers in the proposal, so it faithfully represented his plan.
Sen. Jeff Sessions, Alabama Republican, even challenged Democrats to point out any errors in the numbers and he would correct them — a challenge no Democrats took up.

The Washington Post and all the other media reported it as Obama's budget getting voted down. You've been wrong over and over in the this thread. I wouldn't try to cover now by arguing over silliness.

Damned if he does, and damned if he doesn't! Wasn't it just last week you guys were saying he shouldn't have let his daughters go on a spring break trip while the country was "suffering"?????

Your link says that Sessions said it used President Obama's numbers. It does not say they came to the same conclusions which is the point.

you can read both versions of it. One is on the Budget website, the other is on the senate website.

We are talking about the House budget committee, not the Senate. because the House version of the bill is the one the article in question is talking about.

He could hand over his entire salary for the rest of his presidency & you'd still be calling him an ahole so I really can't take you people seriously. Name me another president who has done this, a CEO, anyone. I can think of only the CEO of Midwest Express who took a paycut. I'm sure you applauded him for it though, right?
Herbert Hoover donated his salary to charity.
