WASHINGTON Perilously close to a government shutdown, President Barack Obama and congressional leaders forged agreement late Friday night on a deal to cut more than $37 billion in federal spending and avert the first closure in 15 years.
Obama hailed the deal as "the biggest annual spending cut in history," and House Speaker John Boehner said that over the next decade it would cut government spending by $500 billion.
"This is historic, what we've done," said the third man in the talks, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.

With these @ssclowns in charge you should be thinking Zimbabwe or Kampuchea...
Hey, name it the ‘Constitutional Party’ and I’m IN!!!
“What a bunch of PUSSIES! The GOP is worthless.”
My feelings exactly. There is going to be a world war.. and they are planning it! There is no way “they” can do what they are doing without plans in place for WWIII. Trillions upon trillions in debt, and printing trillions more is the standard MO for war. Our country has been taken over by communists. Let’s hope and pray our kids survive this.
Tea Party freshman keep chipping away
People like Hfuckabee, Rove and others who are on news programs telling the republicans to cave in are the problem. With friends like that, we don't need enemies.
Time for a third party. The Republicans have had their chance.
“What a bunch of PUSSIES! The GOP is worthless.”
They darn well better defund Planned Deathhood next year!!!
Nonsense. They got cuts on what was a Dem budget.
Now let's move onto the Repub budget.
With the help of Michele Bachmann and Huckabee
The American People see through your lies Democrats.
The gig is up.
You did not put any ideas for cuts (SEnate Democrats didn’t pass a bill.)
Why should any voter vote for President Obama or a Senate Democrat
in 2012?
We got 8.8% unemployment, no budget, no balance or primary balance,
no idea. Just SPEND SPEND SPEND. more taxes and mandates from
Obamacare.
DEMOCRATS.
THE PARTY OF NO IDEAS.
no idea. no ideas to cut waste, no GAO report, no printing, no cut to congress pay.
OUT OF TOUCH
OBAMA not engaged disinterested lazy passive even Mancin called
him out as not a leader
hey OBama your Kansas lost!!!
I guess Obammy had to wait until the NCAA tourney was over.
VOTE DEMOCRAT in 2012 —— Cause we gotta print more money
VOTE DEMOCRAT in 2012. cause we have to “invest”
like high speed rail
Win the Future,... WTF!!!!
WTF. WTF. WTF.
We smoked you out LOSER DEMOCRATS.
I had the privileged to visit Constitutional Hall for a third time last month. There stood George Washington’s chair with the sun in all it’s glory. I gazed upon it remembering Franklin’s famous words: “I have often looked at that behind the president without being able to tell whether it was rising or setting. But now I... know that it is a rising...sun.”
My heart is setting.
LOL...DU is angry at the billions in cuts and they think Obama caved.
The GOP got cuts on what SHOULD have been a Dem budget...no mean feat.
Now let's move onto the GOP budget.
And is it torqued his jaws to say it. Does everybody think John Boehner can run the table against The President and The Senate? Getting back the country is a journey, not a destination.
Everyone should send a slice of toast to Boehner!
Don’t want to hear Boner or a RINO complain of the Dems kicking the budget can down the road. The can obviously does not stop here. DC bunch of weasels and no guts save for a few.
“House Speaker John Boehner said that over the next decade it would cut government spending by $500 billion.”
This is technically correct. We have cut from the absurdly high baseline the spendaholic Democrats created.
A compromise and a minor first step in the right direction, but the Big Govt ship of state will take a while to come to heel.
MANY fights to come.
obamma has added $4 Trillion dollars in 2 years and now is giving the American taxpayers back $37 billion dollars in spending cuts. Tell me how this is a great deal?
