If Cuomo and Shelly Silver, the rat Assembly Leader, can be responsible, why can't Obama an Harry Reid? They need to be shamed into being responsible.

U.S. to Hit Debt Limit No Later Than May 16, Geithner Says
A $158 billion reduction in the deficit should be a base plus whatever is expected in the new borrowing. As Chuck U likes to sat, that's reasonable.
P.S. Hat tip to Gondring for the presser!
P.P.S. I'm sending this presser to the Speaker of the House.
If a Republican had tried to pass this budget, the NYT and the rest of the media would have screamed bloody murder.
How the hell did I just utter the phrase “way to go Cuomo?”
Hard to believe he is the son of the worst former governor of NYS whose “solution” to the big spending deficits he created were killer taxes to choke the state’s economy. Maybe Chris Christie across the river has had an impact on him.

I sent the Speaker the presser page via the email address above. The URL below it is the Congressional Directory.
So far everybody's comment on the thread is only about praising Cuomo. Nobody wrote anything about the contrast in behavior between Cuomo and Obama, and Reid, who's trying to blame the Tea Party for any gov't shutdown, and Reid's behavior in contrast to the formerly recalcitrant Sheldon Silver, NY's rat Assembly Leader.
Since I have my doubts about people reading any comment# 1, so many people will fire off an angry comment without reading the complete article, I'll repeat my corrected, pertinent comments here:
Now if Cuomo and the split legislatue in Albany can reduce the deficit by $10 billion for the 19.5 million New Yawkers with no new taxes or borrowing, why can't Obama and the split Congress agree to reduce the deficit by $158 billion, less than 10% of Obama's proposed new deficit of about $1.7 trillion, for the 308+ million as of the last census with no new taxes or borrowing? We know the answer. If Obama or Reid lips are moving, it's shameless BS. They think we're really that stupid!If Cuomo and Shelly Silver, the rat Assembly Leader, can be responsible, why can't Obama an Harry Reid? They need to be shamed into being responsible.
You may want to check the links in comment# 1 as well.
This ping is one of those rare pings that everyone on all my lists get, plus the very smart writer for the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Salena Zito, and the inestimable John R. Lott Jr. Too bad Tony Snow is gone.
Too adult for Obama and Reid.
Take notes, republicans. You just got schooled by a democrat.
That's the right question. The short answer is, because he's a Democrat. They will never send the flying monkeys after a Democrat.
as RUSH was saying this week, since a democrat cut the budget there is nothing in the news about cutting services for children, the seniors, the hungry and so on. the spin only applies to when republicans cut a budget.
i have to say, cuomo did a great job.
Yeah, and the a-hole we have in CT can’t wait to raise taxes.
Cuomo is positioning as a fiscal conservative in order to run for POTUS in five years. We could see Cuomo vz Christie at some time in the near future.
Anyone thinking that Andy and Pater Familias aren’t watching the polls and are looking for vulnerabilitiues in the haloed one’s reelection?Watching the portrayal of Joe Kennedy on REELZ makes me think that Mario is angling for a chance to land Andy in the WH.
Well, knock me over with a feather.
What I’d really like to see is massive welfare reform.
He could save a bundle there.
