Tell Obama To Put Up Or Shut Up On The Budget

Budget: Now that President Obama's anti-sequester PR campaign has imploded, he's trying to sucker the GOP into a tax-hiking "grand bargain." They should refuse, and instead demand Obama produce his own budget.

For months Obama traveled around the country warning that disaster lay ahead if Republicans refused to replace the $84 billion in sequester cuts with more taxes.

Their obstinacy, he said, would cause a "series of dumb, arbitrary cuts" that would throw people out of their homes, deny women access to preventive care, cause monumental flight delays, and on and on.

Obama's scare tactics failed to sway the public, which ended up supporting cuts by a nearly 2-1 margin.

And after getting caught in a string of blatant lies and gross exaggerations about the sequester's effects, even Obama's Democratic colleagues and his friends in the press started to complain.

Our only hope is to throw out the Old Guard RINO establishment

Like any of the Gang of 12 who accepted zerO’s invitation to a taxpayer funded posh dinner to fist-bump the marxist and make a deal with him (WTH didnt they eat at the WH?)

some things and some people, you just do not make deals with
Some men are not gentlemen, even by virtue of the office conferred on them

Since winning the election he has been confrontational and campaigning resulting in the sequestor nuke hoax, now his approval has dropped and so he is putting on a ‘I am reaching out’ show. If nothing else this increases his likability.

There is no reason to believe anything good will come out of another deal with Obama.

It is way past time that somebody stood up and shouted this: WHAT IS A BUDGET? A BUDGET IS A FINANCIAL PLAN. UNTIL OBAMA AND THE SENATE PRESENT THEIR BUDGETS, THEY HAVE NO FINANCIAL PLAN.

This is too easy.
The Senate and O’s financial plan is simple. The “budget” calls for spending based on administrative priorities without constraint. After all, if you can print the money there are no limitations on spending.
