Democratic leaders are unanimous in declaring a complete victory over House Speaker Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) and his close allies, who wrote the $1.1 trillion omnibus budget without asking House conservatives for any input ...
The Democrats’ victory, and Republican Ryan’s defeat, was garishly displayed when his omnibus got more Democratic votes in the House and in the Senate than it got Republican votes.
“I said I would not accept a lot of [conservative] ideological riders that were attached to a big budget deal,†President Barack Obama said Friday, at his end-of-year press conference. “And because of some terrific negotiations by the Democrats up on Capitol Hill and I think some pretty good work by our legislative staff here… it was a good win,†he said. “We met our goals,†he said.
In 2015, “we wanted to get rid of sequestration, we were able to do that,†gloated the Democrats’ leader in the Senate, Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV). “We wanted to make sure there is parity between defense and the middle class, we wanted to make sure that we kept these poison pills off the legislation… All three goals we had, we accomplished,†he said. Ryan’s omnibus deal “caps off a successful year for Senate Democrats,†he added.
Well, if you would’ve told me this year that we’d be standing here celebrating the passage of an omnibus bill, with no poison pill riders, at higher [spending] levels above sequesters than even the president requested, I wouldn’t have believed it, but here we are,†Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer told reporters ...
“Almost anything, the Republican leadership in the Senate achieved this year, they achieved on Democratic terms… Democrats had an amazingly good year,†he declared.
Over in the House, the Democrats’ upbeat press conference began with laughter, according to the transcript.

Paul Ryan = John Boehner on steroids.
Exactly,sheesh,what is going to take,to wake people up on this forum?
“The only thing Ryan can claim we got was that American oil companies can now export oil. They should be able to, but with the price of oil so low now it’s not a current crisis, and most certainly not giving away EVERYTHING for.”
That was a victory for corporate lobbyists. The GOP’s main constituency.
If the House and the Senate passed a budget and the President vetoes it, who really shuts down the Govt? The people represented by the congress are supposed to govern.
It’s shocking to see what they’ve done. Not surprising though.
Try to imagine a budget bill chock full of cuts and changes the right wants, a dream budget. Now imagine the Democrats control the House and Senate, and the president is a Republican in his last year.
Try to imagine the House Speaker doesn’t consult with other Dems and just calls for a vote and it passes.
Why can’t you imagine this scenario?
Because it would NEVER, NEVER HAPPEN.
“Paul Ryan ‘Gave Away The Store’”
That’s what traitors do.
It’s up to the people in his district to primary the POS.
Follow the money.
Not even in the movies.
Ryan is worse than Boehner. Next year, throw the bums out who voted with the Dems to charge another trillion dollars of Free Stuff to our children and grandchildren to pay from shrinking pay checks.
Oh yeah? Well they won’t be gloating when the Republicans push some hap-hazard, never meant to pass, show legislation. Lets see who is laughing then.
Boy, I sure am glad Pelosi and Reid aren’t in charge anymore...
Spot on. "Crony Capitalism" is a sanitized description for the cold fist of Fascism. Our current "two party" system is an illusion that camouflages the marriage of Big Government and Big Business, and the disinheritance of Citizens from the Republic bequeathed by our forefathers. America is dying, and the race is on to carve off as much meat as possible before the corpse rots.
I think Obama and the other dems have some serious "Dirt" on him and the Republican leadership.
13 months from now I had better be reading how President Trump issued exec or nullifying every document signed by Obama and that Obama is in custody with charges pending for treason. Also a very long list of names of politicos, doners, media personnel, and every person that can be found who voted illegally are being investigated for charges of collusion. Death Penalty is on the table. This includes all illegals to include so called refugees. If this does not happen hell will follow.
The Republican Leadership.
Doing what Harry Reid, Nasti Pelosi, and a super majority in both houses couldn’t accomplish.
And, if I may add to your pity observation: THIS is why you never try to appease your enemy, whether some Dem(Lame-o) across the aisle or some terrorist across the street.
Easy to “win” when the other side throws the game, if this was the Patriots losing for such a reason, Boston would declare war on Washington. Ryan is a Democrat and should be removed from the Chair now tha pt he has exposed himself for what he is. .
“If the House and the Senate passed a budget and the President vetoes it, who really shuts down the Govt?”
In a very short amount of time, the media will convince the public that the GOP were entirely at fault.
Agreed.
