Obama Calls for a New Era of Civility in U.S. Politics
“If, as has been discussed in recent days, their deaths help usher in more civility in our public discourse,” Mr. Obama said, “let us remember that it is not because a simple lack of civility caused this tragedy — it did not — but rather because only a more civil and honest public discourse can help us face up to our challenges as a nation, in a way that would make them proud.”

Obama proposes FY 2012 budget that does nothing to reduce deficit
THE PRESIDENT PUNTED. Having been given the chance, the cover and the push by the fiscal commission he created to take bold steps to raise revenue and curb entitlement spending, President Obama, in his fiscal 2012 budget proposal, chose instead to duck. To duck, and to mask some of the ducking with the sort of budgetary gimmicks he once derided. "The fiscal realities we face require hard choices," the president said in his budget message. "A decade of deficits, compounded by the effects of the recession and the steps we had to take to break it, as well as the chronic failure to confront difficult decisions, has put us on an unsustainable course." His budget would keep the country on that course.

House passes Paul Ryan's budget
The House on Friday approved a fiscal year 2012 budget resolution from Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) that seeks to drastically limit government spending next year and in years to follow.
IRONY ALERT
Obama: Ryan is not on the level
"When Paul Ryan says his priority is to make sure, you know, he's just being America's accountant…," Obama said, "this is the same guy that voted for two wars that were unpaid for, voted for the Bush tax cuts that were unpaid for, voted for the prescription drug bill that cost as much as my health care bill -- but wasn't paid for. So it's not on the level. And we've got to keep on, you know, keep on shining a light on that."
The guy whose first budget proposal completely ignored the coming fiscal train wreck - the guy who punted away the tough choices- the guy who continues to demagogue the Ryan plan- says Paul Ryan is not on the level.
Obama took a mulligan on the budget and proposed a second plan. It has been called "unseriously unfair"

FUBO!!!
0bama is a vile, evil creature and he needs to RETURN to Hell where he belongs.
Who does this lying, America-hating, communist think he is fooling??
Hearing some of the political discourse recently convinces me that the liberals have NOT learned the lessons of Tucson about civility and all that.
As usual, the lessons of Tucson were intended for conservatives only, not for liberals.
Why do we have lessons of Tucson in the first place though? We learned that the shooter was a deranged man, and did NOT do what he did for political reasons. Even so, the liberals did their best to blame it on Sarah Palin’s targets of certain congressional districts, even though Democrats do the same darn thing.
Did that idiot sheriff in Arizona ever get reprimanded? Remember he said how Arizona had become ground zero for hatred and violence? And it turned out that the shooter was not inspired by political rhetoric, which in retrospect made the sheriff a fool. Yet I’ve never heard anyone criticize this aspect of the case.
"Obama's dishonest" budget plan
Aren’t muslims required to lie to the infedel?
