President Obama on Tuesday accused critics of his $3.6 trillion budget proposal of taking a "just say no" approach to his plan and offering few ideas of their own.
Obama spoke after meeting with two key lawmakers who will play a key role as Capitol Hill begins to debate the fiscal 2010 budget plan.
"If there are members of Congress who object to specific policies and proposals in this budget then I ask them to be ready and willing to propose constructive alternative solutions," Obama said. "'Just say no' is the right advice to give your teenagers about drugs. It is not an acceptable response to whatever economic policies are proposed by the other party."

When the pressers quote him, they should also include the “ums”.
The president’s budget is indefensible. While there are some good things in it, for the most part it is a terrible budget. The Obambi administration is just trying to defend the indefensible.
How about just NO to Cap and Trade and just NO to $640 Billion for an unspecified down payment on future health care. No alternative. Just don’t want either one. Is that specific enough?
Dumbass doesn’t realize the plan, in its entirety, is bad.
The fuhrer’s handlers’ assertion that the gummit has to Do Something is ridiculous on its face.
Then it would require another paragraph. They are saving trees.
Propose constructive alternative solutions,over ruled by democrats every time remember Bush called for cleaning up fanmay and fredmac three years age and the democrats killed that idea see Barny Frank,Harry,Nancy.
Excuse me OBambi! But you let Congress write your budget you worthless piece of unqualified junk!
And the "constructive alternative solutions" will be killed in committee so the pork can continue. The "naysayers" aren't stoopid, Barry.
Perhaps Obomba can have the honor of pushing FDRs wheelchair up the ramp to the fires of hell.
I was in the DARE program. I’m used to just saying no to drugs.
Not true.
Just say no is an excellent response to unecessary and unbridled spending.
There do NOT have to be alternatives.
Idiot.
To be that ignorant, he would have to get his news from NBC. Or ABC. Or CBS. or the NYT front page.
He needs to be lambasted, and hard, on this.
Not quite. Just say HELL NO
And where were the left’s “ideas of their own” when they were throwing their Bush Derangement Syndrome apoplectic fits?
Obama is losing his capital at record pace. The Democrats that vote along with this budget will suffer the backlash from all sides and it will be used against them during their reelection. All the GOP has to do is say no, let it pass and then use it during their campaign against the Rats.
Fact is the Republicans had a plan - detailed and everything. He knows it. None of the MSM reported it, ‘so it didn’t exist’. This is just to continue the ‘no’ propaganda and is aimed at all the people that don’t know that - quite a few unfortunately.
