The White House declared victory Wednesday over congressional Republicans in the budget negotiations that concluded lateTuesday night, saying Democrats beat back the GOP across the board.
White House officials cited a long list of wins over majority Republicans on individual budget items ranging from funding for Planned Parenthood to an overall increase in spending beyond previous âsequestrationâ caps.

Gotta agree. Our side, with both houses, gets a few kernels of ‘concessions’ and declare wins to placate those not fully engaged. Ridiculous.

This is about the only time I have agreed with the White House.
The GOP "leadership" is disgusting.

He is not - he has been assimilated.
Trump and Cruz need to lead the pushback right now.

Paul Boehner—— very disappointing-— no guts, no glory.
If the GOPee were smart they could have had a budget fight with the WH and used Trump and Cruz as leveraged, affiliated bullhorns to the general public. They just wont fight the good fight.. FUBO and FU GOPee sad sack RINO’s.

But wait a minute. Republicans are reaching across the aisle and giving Obama everything he wants, right? What happened to all this talk about how Republicans "won't work" with Obama? Isn't this what the media and Dems want?
So what did Obama "won?" He's getting bipartishanship and the Republicans should now get those precious moderates and independent voters next year.
To: Nachum
It isn't a win if they are all on the same side. More of a forfeit.
To: Nachum
And why shouldn’t they? Its true.

Oh, big victory, they practically begged them to kick them, too for good measure while they were on their backs grovelling.

The GOP must enjoy capitulating to Obama and then having him rub their noses in it.

Washington is broken. We need someone from the outside to come in there and kick the ____ out of them. Someone who isn’t in debt to Super PACS.
