Republicans decline to hear president’s budget

[Jangle]

By Luke Russert and Frank Thorp V
President Obama’s $4.1 trillion budget for the government was formally submitted to Congress today, however, in an unprecedented move, it will not receive so much as a formal hearing from the Republican controlled House and Senate budget committees.

Going back to the 1970s, it has been customary for the Office of Management and Budget Director or another high level administration official to present the president’s entire budget in a hearing before Congress. Last week, the chairmen of the House and Senate budget committees released a joint statement saying this year, that would not be the case.

Vote responsibly. You cannot send retards to congress.

They are such a mess that it's frightening to think that they stand a chance to win the White House. The Democrats allowed them and Fox News to set the tone and the narrative.

I cannot believe this!

Where is this hatred for Barack Obama coming from? Suppose him did really phuq up America?!?!

These days I find myself doing a lot of calendar checks to make sure is not April 1. So much "stuff" is happening that makes you wonder what's real from what isn't!

Bricky's post on Nesbeth was one of my calendar check moments!

Not retards at all. To steal a line from Marco Robot, they know exactly what they are doing and what their constituents sent them there to do...say no to Obama whatever the issue.

They clearly have not learned from their efforts that almost put America into default....

Well, I don't know. Those actions don't play as well in a national race but they seem to work for many Republicans running for the House and the Senate.

There is always a Tea Party type waiting to replace you if you don't want to play hardball.
