“Missed It By That Much” … Obama’s Budget Goes Down in Flames in US Senate, 99-0 … Not One Democrat Vote

How come the MSM is not talking about this bi-partisanship?

THUD!!! What was that sound? Barack Obama’s budget crashing to the ground with a 99-0 vote against. That’s correct, not one single Democrat Senate vote. This is hardly a ringing endorsement for Obama and Obamanomics. These Democrat Senators are going to have a difficult time justifying their vote against the Obama budget, their misgivings on voting for Obamacare and the $787 billion stimulus and campaigning for or with Barack Obama in 2012. Just a reminder from the Lonely Conservative, the US Senate is controlled by Democrats.

Gotta love the sarcasm from Michelle Malkin.com, ‘Senate narrowly votes down Obama budget’.  The final vote tally reminded me of the hit TV Show ‘Get Smart’. The TV Show, not the movie. Don Adams, Agent 86, Maxwell Smart was famous for saying, “missed it by that much”.

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.

Republicans forced the vote by offering the president’s plan on the Senate floor.

Democrats disputed that it was actually the president’s plan, arguing that the slim amendment didn’t actually match Mr. Obama’s budget document, which ran thousands of pages. But Republicans said they used all of the president’s numbers in the proposal, so it faithfully represented his plan.

Sen. Jeff Sessions, Alabama Republican, even challenged Democrats to point out any errors in the numbers and he would correct them — a challenge no Democrats took up.

“A stunning development for the president of the United States in his fourth year in office,” Mr. Sessions said of the unanimous opposition.

Weasel Zippers reminds us that the Obama budget also received zero votes in the House as well. The end result, not one Democrat was willing to go out on a limb and attach themselves to Obama’s budget. Hardly a vote of confidence for the leader of their party.

Barack Obama, the Not So “Marvelous” President … Google & You Tube Are Just So Unforgiving

BARACK OBAMA, THE NOT SO MARVELOUS, BUT DESPERATE PRESIDENT … I GUESS OBAMA WAS OUT OF TOUCH WHEN HE SAID HAT MICHELLE OBAMA WAS DOING A “MARVELOUS” JOB …

Dear President Barack Obama, “Isn’t it  marvelous” that search engines like Google and Internet sites like You Tube can record all of your comments so that when you try to mock and belittle individuals, your BS gets thrown back in your face? Like when you pathetically tried to make fun of GOP Presidential primary candidate Mitt Romney and ridiculously tried and paint him as an out of touch individual at an April 3, 2012 AP luncheon? Just this past week Obama criticized Romney for using the term “marvelous” to describe Paul Ryan’s budget. Really Mr. President, before you mock others, you best check what you have said in the past yourself.

Sorry Barack, if “Marvelous” is good enough for Billy Crystal and Fernando, it is good enough for me

When President Barack Obama criticized Mitt Romney by name this week for embracing a controversial Republican budget proposal, he worded his attack carefully and with bite.

“(Romney) said that he’s ‘very supportive’ of this new budget, and he even called it ‘marvelous’ – which is a word you don’t often hear when it comes to describing a budget,” Obama said during a speech on Tuesday, before adding:

“It’s a word you don’t often hear generally.”

How pathetic that we have a president that at every turn tries to pit American against American, play the race card and in this case the affluent card. How desperate could he be? Obama tries to pin using the word “marvelous” to being rich and out of touch. Although as stated at Powerline what takes even more nerve is for Obama to criticize anothers budget when Obama’s could not garner a single  vote and his Democrat Senate refuse to write one. Yet Obama did exactly that.

Obama’s riff on Romney’s use of the word “marvelous” to describe Representative Paul Ryan’s budget plans carried a subtle message.

“It’s a word you kind of associate with the upper class, and I think that the intention was to tweak Romney for being wealthy and, you know, sort of brought up in the kinds of circles where they would say ‘marvelous,’” said Kenneth Sherrill, a political science expert at New York’s Hunter College.

Barack Obama should have had his minions check Google and You Tube before he made such ignorant comments regarding “marvelous” not often being heard. I guess Barack Obama does not even listen to his own words.

So marvelous is a term you generally don’t hear at all, eh Barack? How about the time when Obama used the term “marvelous” to describe Martin Luther King’s oratory. Or when Obama described his “marvelous” surrounds. Finally when Obama used the term “marvelous” to describe the job that his wife, the First Lady Michelle Obama was doing.

 Could Barack Obama be any more of a decisive clown? Seriously, how ridiculous, childish and small could this man possibly be?  He would mock some one for using a word that he uses all the time. Obama does not anyone to look at his record on the economy, instead he thinks he is cute by mocking Romney instead, how marvelous.  He thinks you are stupid America.

Thank You Barack & Obamanomics … Credit Rating Agency Egan Jones Downgraded the United States Because of Unsustainabible Debt

How bad for America is Obamanomics? Another credit agency has downgraded the United States economy over debt concerns. Obama and Democrats answer is to just keep on spending and increasing the debt. Credit rating agency Egan Jones downgraded the United States … Thanks Obama, why on Earth would any credit agency have concerns with a $15.6 trillion debt and growing.

Credit rating agency Egan Jones downgraded the United States Thursday on concern over the sustainability of public debt. Egan Jones is one of the most important ratings firms in the world; they lowered our credit level from AA+ to AA. The firm reduced America from AAA to AA+ in July 2011, just before Standard & Poor’s did the same.

Egan Jones warned. “Without some structural changes soon, restoring credit quality will become increasingly difficult . . . without some structural changes soon, restoring credit quality will become increasingly difficult.”

The Gatway Pundit reminds us of when Obama complained about what GWB did in 8 years with regards to the national debt? Barack Obama called it irresponsible and unpatriotic.  Obama stated that W increased the debt from $5 trillion to $9 trillion. Meanwhile in less than 4 years Obama has increased the debt to 15.6 trillion. If GWB was unpatriotic, then Obama’s handling of the debt is an act of treason.

Barack Obama Calls Out the Ryan Budget Yet WH Spokesperson Jay Carney Refuses to Address Why Obama Will Nor Call Out Democrat Controlled Senate To Pass Budget

The Barack Obama Presidency has no credibility. Obama is quick to call out Republican House Rep Paul Ryan’s budget, yet Obama and his minions are as quiet as a church mouse when it comes to why “The One” says nada when it comes to Harry Reid and the US Senate’s and the president’s own budget. What is most incredible is when Obama references Ryan’s budget as radical, it sounds like he is talking about his own policies and agenda.

Hot Air nails the duplicity of Barack Obama and his mouth piece minions. Obviously Jay Carney can’t handle the truth … nor questions about Obama’s budget or the lack there of.

To cleanse the palate, a simple question: Since only 51 votes are needed to pass a budget in the Senate and there are 53 Democratic and left-leaning independent senators, why doesn’t smilin’ Harry Reid ram through O’s latest spending blowout? The White House gets awfully fidgety when the media presses them on this, to the point where even former OMB director Jack Lew was forced to play dumb about how many votes are needed for Democrats to pass this thing.

Barack Obama Budget Defeated 414 – 0 … Yet Another Obama Victory, Maybe He Will Have More “Flexibility” After the Election?

President Barack Obama’s budget goes down in flames and is defeated 414-0. Talk about your bi-partisan votes. Not one Democrat voted for Obama’s budget. As stated by Jammie Wearing Fool, obviously all 414 individuals are racist.

The vote came as the House worked its way through its own fiscal year 2013 budget proposal, written by Budget Committee Chairman Paul D. Ryan. Republicans wrote an amendment that contained Mr. Obama’s budget and offered it on the floor, daring Democrats to back the plan, which calls for major tax increases and yet still adds trillions of dollars to the deficit over the next decade.

“It’s not a charade. It’s not a gimmick — unless what the president sent us is the same,” said Rep. Mick Mulvaney, a freshman Republican from South Carolina who sponsored Mr. Obama’s proposal for purposes of the debate. “I would encourage the Democrats to embrace this landmark Democrat document and support it. Personally, I will be voting against it.”

But no Democrats accepted the challenge.

Wow, this heading into an election and not one Democrat voted for Obama’s budget. Can you say the rats are fleeing the ship? The Democrats are in a pickle. No one is going to want to get near Obama’s coattails whether it has to do with the economy, jobs, the budget, national debt, gas prices or Obamacare.

Even RINO’s are Dissatisfied with Obama … Senator Olympia Snowe (ME-R) Gives Obama an ‘F’

A note to President Barack Obama, when RINO Senator from Maine Olympia Snowe Gives Obama an ‘F’, you have a real problem … Snowe said that if she had to grade the President on his willingness to work with Republicans, he would “be close to failing on that point.” Close Olympia? No, I think it is safe to say that he is failing. With a continued failing economy, poor job growth, record number of people on food stamps, unemployment above 8%, gas prices at near record highs and a record federal debt, it is safe to say Obama has been a failure.

If there were ever a Republican for President Obama to work with, it was Maine Senator Olympia Snowe. She was one of just three Republicans in the entire Congress to vote for his economic stimulus plan in 2009 and even tried to work with him on health care, but in an interview with ABC’s Senior Political Correspondent Jonathan Karl, Snowe makes a remarkable revelation:  She hasn’t had a face-to-face meeting with President Obama in nearly two years.

Snowe said that if she had to grade the President on his willingness to work with Republicans, he would “be close to failing on that point.”  In fact, Snowe, who was first elected to Congress in 1978, claims that her meetings with President Obama have been less frequent than with any other President.

Snowe stated that there is no leadership and it is no longer about policy, it is only about politics and reelection in Washington, DC these days. Olympia Snowe earlier this year announced that she will not be seeking reelection in 2012.

Although I have to take exception with Snowe’s that she believes that she is a traditional Republican …  “I represent what I think is a traditional Republican… a limited government, fiscal responsibility, strong national defense, individual freedom and liberty.” How could a Republican who believes in these ideals embrace or even discuss any of Obama’s  big government, globalism and loss of liberty positions?

Team Obama Struggles To Find New Campaign Slogan To Replace “Hope And Change” … What Running on His Failed Record Does Not Work?

TEAM OBAMA LOOKS FOR NEW SLOGAN TO BS AMERICA …

Barack Obama and his Reelection Team look to come up with a new slogan to replace “Hope & Change” for the 2012 Presidential election. So far they are without any ideas. I guess being honest with the American people and running on his failed 1st term policies and agenda is out of the question. Imagine that, Obama does not want to actually run on his record, he would rather contrive of slogan.

Winning The Future. Greater Together. We Don’t Quit.

They may not be official but those are all phrases that could in one form or another be candidates to become President Barack Obama’s re-election slogan.

Advisers say a fresh slogan to replace the winning “Change we can believe in” mantra of 2008, is unlikely to appear before Obama knows who his Republican opponent will be and starts big campaign travel swings, likely in the spring or summer.

His campaign posters now say simply, “Obama 2012.”

But Obama’s surrogates have roadtested some slogans in recent months, including “Winning The Future,” which the White House used to promote its budget, and “Greater Together,” which the campaign has used to brand its youth outreach effort.

Hey Team Obama, what about the slogan … How’s that “Hopey-Changey” stuff working out for you? Here are some suggestions for Team Obama:

• 4 More Obama Years … You can hope to have some change in your pocket
• Class Warfare … How Else Do You Think I Can Win
• It’s Still Bush’s Fault
• Barack Obama … You Thought Obamacare was Something … Wait Until a Second Term
• Obama 2012: I Have Not Yet Began To Increase to National Debt
• Barack & Michelle: Of Course We are the 1% … Shut Up and Do as We Say
• Obama 2012: Socialism and You, Perfect Together

Provide your own slogans for Barack’s 2012 Presidential run.

Obama’s Chief of Staff Jack Lew Lied on CNN in Misleading Comments about Blaming Republicans fior the Democrat Controlled Senate’s Failure to Pass a Budget Resolution

YOU LIE!!!  Now you know what Barack Obama’s strategy will be for reelection … he and his minions are going to lie through their teeth.

Obama and the MSM, perfect together. White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew, stated on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Feb. 12. 2012 that the GOP Senate was to blame for no budget being passed in the Senate and it would never get 60 votes. One would think that  Jack Lew who was the recent budget director for President Obama and also the budget director for former President Bill Clinton would be an expert on the budget and rules. So with all that experience one can only surmise that he flat out lied and tried to mislead the American people on CNN …

But we also need to be honest. You can’t pass a budget in the Senate of the United States without 60 votes and you can’t get 60 votes without bipartisan support. So unless Republicans are willing to work with Democrats in the Senate, Harry Reid is not going to be able to get a budget passed. And I think he was reflecting the reality of that that could be a challenge.”

There is just one problem with Jack Lew’s comments. They are 100% false.60 votes are not needed in a budget reconciliation. They actually only require 51 votes or a simple majority. However, the WH did not dispute Lew’s misrepresentations but instead stated that he was only referencing the gridlock. REALLY? Last time I checked the Democrats held the Senate. You mean that Obama and Reid can’t get 51 votes in a Democrat controlled US Senate? Maybe Obama needs to look at his own party first when it comes to obstruction.

But the congressional budget resolution can be important because of a process known as reconciliation. If language is included in the budget resolution that directs a Congressional committee to meet certain spending or tax targets, then the resulting bill cannot be subject to filibuster (ie, needing 60 votes to end debate) and can pass with only a majority vote. (For more information on the budget process, see this excellent primer by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.)

Tennessee College Republicans from the Obama Generation to “The Debt Generation” … Welcome to Obama’s Generational Theft

Obama’s reelection bid is no longer and promises of “hope & change,” its about running on his record …

Barack Obama has pretty much disillusions ed every one that voted for him in 2008, no voting block more than the college age youth.  They have gone from the Obama generation in 2008 to the “DEBT GENERATION”. Watch the video below from the Tennessee College Republicans, aptly titled, ” The Debt Generation”. Check out the Debt Clock.

The Debt Generation

Hat Tip: Gateway Pundit

In 2008 more than 2/3 of America’s youth voted for Barack Obama; however, little did the naive college kids know that Barack Obama would hang them out to dry and create an out of control debt of political gifts that they would be responsible for. Many of them now regret that they ever voted for Obama. The One handed out gifts like Santa Claus; however, Santa does not charge you for the gifts he gives, Obama does. Fewer young voters see themselves as Democrats and unlike 2008, the Obama magic is gone. The bloom is off the rose and Obama is not perceived as “Hope & Change” but instead the same old, same old of an establishment politician.

Welcome to the “generational” theft of Barack Obama. The result, Obama has lost the luvin’ feeling of America’s youth.

UPDATE I: A blast from the past from Vanderbilt from 2009 … And the Obama gang thought we would just forget.
