You mean liberals.

Obama has submitted his budget EVERY year he has been in office.

The president doesn’t "pass" a budget. That’s Congress’ job.

blueash -
your copy/paste points are well made. but what they do not address is obama's failure to press for negotiation, compromise, and resolution. a leader does not accept intended defeat, roll over, get up and just cast blame on the opposition. a leader who cannot enter the front door tries the back door or any window that might be open! a real leader will bulldoze their way to get to the occupants if necessary! obama failed miserably at working around the blockades and thus, failed america, you, me and us! obama should have spent his time reading about the successful and failed american battlefield strategies rather than marxist literature so he would have an idea how to approach opposition!

and just what did obama do to insure that his proposed budget got a fair hearing, evaluation, negotiation, compromise and resolution in congress?

please provide more than just a one or two or three line explanation if you can. i understand that ther might not be one which is that long.

blueash's post is spot on - Congress is NOT interested in hearings, or negotiations, or compromise.

apparently, obama is not either and prefers to use congress' inaction to cast blame only on the house and use harry reid and nancy pelosi only as shields. althought i don't believe nancy's announcement that she was visited by susan b anthony is gonna help her credibility!

still waiting for YOUR explanation instead of your reliance on another poster's info. i seriously want to understand your one/two liners and how you reach the conculsions you post. thanx

It doesn't take more than one line to say - " Congress is NOT interested in hearings, or negotiations, or compromise"

What part of that one line don't you grasp?

That is an excellent line to remember, Coralway.

Surprising that the tea party and their Republican toadies fail to understand the words "negotiate or compromise".

Its The Economy Stupid
 

In order for a leader to.. well lead s/he needs to gain the confidence, credibility and respect of those s/he leads. Given Obama's failed stewardship and even larger failed ideaology the only reason that Obama was not fired is that America doesn't fire presidents for poor performance , that is what re-elections are all about.

It is so apparent that the proposed budget submitted by Obama is one that fails to meet the acid test by members of both sides of the congressional aisle because its the same tired ideas that haven't worked for the last three years and in fact have dug us deeper into debt.

Obama despite his deflections owns this economy but he is a weak leader and will continue until his last breath to blame others.

Democratic strategist James Carvell has reiterated the Clintonian meme "Its the economy stupid". Is there any question that the only two people who can grow our economy are Romney and Ryan and not Obama and Biden. Is there any question that Obama and Biden recognize that fact and will hammer continuing scare tactics to the aged, and dole dependent.

Is there any question that a whole lot of people on food stamps, unemployment etc are proud people who want to earn a living once again and gain the respect they so well deserve and the two people who can grow the economy and thus jobs are Romney and Ryan.

Do Greece, spain, Italy and California's troubles come to resemble the social/economic agenda of the Democratic party and its pandering to unions and in particular public unions that are weighing down our debt more and more each year.

And we haven't even yet discussed Obama's failed ,military and foreign policies.

Tough to figure out these people, buggy .............. it's like the Cons need a 10 paragraph explanation as what "negotiate or compromise" means.

don't need an explanation of what it is - obama is the pure example of the failure to negotiate and compromise AND resolve! need to know why obama will not insist on that approach. that is a question the libs will not AND cannot answer! one-liner responses are proof of that. there is no explanation is a one-liner. obama will not and cannot respond to answer the question; and the same game plan is followed by the libs. thus, america loses.

i understand it only too well - and suffer for it because there is no president to lead and insist on negotiation, compromise and resolution. please tell me why the president will not lead and insist on it - i don't care what the congressional attitude is - i want to know what obama's excuse is. and if his excuse is that congress is not interested in negotiation, compromise, resolution - that just proves my point that the president is not a leader and refuses to be one!

The House is the pure example of the failure to negotiate and compromise AND resolve ! need to know why Boehner will not insist on that approach. That is the question the Cons will not AND cannot answer !

- see how that works?

By the way, in 2008 the american electorate voted for Obama's agenda - not Boehner's.

still no real response to the excellant blueash post from the cons. Just more talking points and spin. Anyone who only and continually blames Obama and Dems for budget impasse are fooling themselves and have drunk too much Kool-aid. Open up your minds,please.

How dare you insult me !!!

In post #30 on this thread I gave you a response that you evidently do not want to accept event though it is factual and is common knowledge.

THERE IS NO BUDGET FOR THIS COUNTRY AND HAS NOT BEEN FOR 3 YEARS.

The Obama budget has been submitted...this from the Washington Newpaper that I included in my post...

"
"President Obama's budget suffered a second embarrassing defeat Wednesday, when senators voted 99-0 to reject it.

Coupled with the House's rejection in March, 414-0, that means Mr. Obama's budget has failed to win a single vote in support this year."

The House PASSED a budget...which the senate refused to consider....That is the democratic senate that voted also against the Obama budget

What are you people even talking about. What is their to negotiate now. The President walked out of a meeting with the leaders of congress about 1 1/2 years ago...just left the meeting and never even called anyone...the meeting was on our spending.

If you are to use my name, you better use it accurately. THERE IS NO BUDGET APPROVED BY CONGRESS WHERE THAT FUNNY PAPER YOU folks keep ignoring called the constitution says it should be approved. NOBODY has ever voted for the Presidents submission on the budget...NOBODY and that includes Democrats.

So let us review for those who are saying that "congress" refuses to negotiate...

.....Obama has offered a budget PROPOSAL each year. NOBODY, including Democrats have ever voted for it....NOBODY !!!

.....The only part of congress that complied with the constitution was the HOUSE who did in fact approve a budget and the senate will not discuss it and the president wont talk to anyone about it.

It is so sad when americans do not even know how the government of their own country works. I just checked the last post and another who does not even know what is happening in their own country......

AGAIN......

""President Obama's budget suffered a second embarrassing defeat Wednesday, when senators voted 99-0 to reject it.

Coupled with the House's rejection in March, 414-0, that means Mr. Obama's budget has failed to win a single vote in support this year."

Obama budget defeated 99-0 in Senate - Washington Times

THIS INCLUDE DEMOCRATS......WAKE UP FOLKS...READ ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING.
