As a senator, Barack Obama said in 2006 that a bill to raise the debt limit was “a sign of leadership failure.”

Go ahead and Veto you sack of s#!t. Make my day. Then we can see what your precise ideas are, Obummer.

I’d just as soon see the balanced budget amendment taken out of this bill. The budget is the immediate issue. People understand the argument of “We submitted a budget, where’s his?” I’d put the balanced budget amendment in a separate bill, as it’s a long-term change that should be addressed separately. They can still pass it and give it to the President at the same time, but it separates out the debate and keeps Obama from making the debate all about the amendment.

Let the man without a plan give their plan a pan.

[EGPWS]

the White House Office of Management and Budget labeled the GOP bill as an “empty political statement.”

Fill it then you clueless POS!

Obama prefers his plan: of golfing, vacations, and fundraising.

Fine. Don’t sign it. Don’t mail out granny’s SS check. Go play a few rounds of golf. Have some ice cream. Hold your breath and stomp your feet like a little spoilt two year old. But do NOT dare threaten We, the People to call your bluff.

“an empty political statement.”

I see the seeds of a great GOP Primary political ad in that Obama WHOMB statement.

“Neither setting arbitrary spending levels nor amending the Constitution is necessary to restore fiscal responsibility,”

Constant reminders that this dork has never run a business and didn’t have executive experience. Hell, most family budgets (at least the solvent ones) specify a spending levels to avoid a budget disaster.

[Don Corleone]

The administration said the measure, which is not expected to move through the Senate, is unnecessary and unrealistic.

If the Pubbies fail to refute the spin that the Marxists put on this then they deserve to be voted out in toto. They probably do anyway. /IMHO

[aces]

Let that lying POS POTUS veto away, time for real change, the kind of change that eliminates washington’s ability to raise funds at all, no taxes for them, no payroll, nothing, the states decide how much to feed the fed G from a balanced budget for the limited role they should be playing..next cut/slash and burn dc if need be, sell off their building whatever needs to happen to save this nation, vote all out who oppose the balanced budget etc....I want my country back..

The Democrats have what amounts to a third stimulus bill sitting in committee in the Senate, waiting for the debt limit to be raised.

S.942 The Transportation Infrastructure Grants and Economic Reinvestment Act

S.942-GovTrack

We just cannot afford more debt nor, another failed stimulus which would funnel more money to favored Democrat industries and unions.

[carmody]

There is something really offputting about an American president ‘threatening’ the citizens, lawmakers, and people who don’t agree with him. Differ in opinion. Talk it out. But threaten? That’s just not normal. O has issues. Imagine if he didn’t have 90% of the media and entertainment culture in his corner. His popularity would be 10%.

[Spok]

The people of America are just vassals who exist to implement the Master Plan of the imperial Obama. They needn’t eat, or work or own property, but must only serve.

[so_real]

Terrific news. He already owns this debt and crummy economy. By placing himself firmly in the way of correcting it, he pretty much destroys the Democrat party for decades to come. I want to see this bill on his desk. Whether he signs it or not, it's a win-win for the Republican party -- and for the faction of the party I care about: Conservatives.

Cut, Cap & Balance bill: HR 2560 (PDF)

Balanced Budget Amendment HJ RES 56 (same as SR RES 10)

HJ RES 56 Joe Walsh sponsors with 59 co-sponsors include Issa, McClintock, Pence, West and Wilson

Michele Bachmann is AWOL.

SR RES 10 Hatch sponsors with 47 co-sponsors. It looks like all GOP senators on board including squishy types like Brown, Collins, Graham, Lugar, McCain and Snowe.

[Principled]

But but but it will be armageddon.

Pffffffft

"The administration said the measure, which is not expected to move through the Senate, is unnecessary and unrealistic."

What, then, is there for Odumbo to veto? I realize that he doesn't know anything about the constitution, and wouldn't care if he did, but this is ridiculous, or rather, it's an empty political statement.
