Mitch McConnell: President’s Budget Will Fail in Senate

Democrats…. hoisted on their own petard.

We saw what happened with the S&P downgrade, lets face it, when credit agencies say cut spending and raise taxes, the republicans only hear one part of it, it’s on them, one other credit agency had put us on negative watch. If they put up a strong conservative candidate and spend unprecedented amounts of money, if the top 1% of conservatives have that kind of money to spend in these elections to gamble instead of reinvesting within America, I guess the old adage one reaps what is sown, a win for them gives them added power and a loss for the middle class.

Obama budget may not get voted on because too many Democrats will vote against it.

Mitch is a doufus.

Well…surprise surprise…this is news? McConnell saying one of Obama’s plans will not be passed…..did you think we thought otherwise…we know that McConnell and his republican cohorts will never pass anything Pres. Obama presents and so does everyone else. You can’t give a reason that anyone will believe except that it is to kill anything Obama wants to do. Every economist, reporter, columnist and everyone else knows this. This is how you help the country.???? You should all be thrown out on your butts. This is what I think….if you kill Obama’s health care plan…we will make sure that you lose yours even if we need to come to Washington and demand it….the people are fed up with the republicans killing everything that is good for the middle class and giving everything to the rich. This is a lopsided country now thanks to what republicans have done by giving corporations (you know the hirers)…everything they want. Plus Citizen’s United is allowing money to control who runs and who wins the nomination. The supreme court has made the most dangerous bill ever and no one can say for sure that other countries..thru conduits are sending money into this country to influence this election. It needs to be overturned…and fast. It is even so bad that you can tell the money contributer by looking at the pictures when the nominee speaks…they are lurking in the background behind or beside the candidate in every picture. This is no longer democracy….it is a form of control….the wealthy control everything. And Santorum had the nerve to say Obama has a Frence “let them eat cake” attitude….I think the opposite is what is real….the republicans are saying to the middle class…too bad…eat cake…..to the rich they say…what more do you need?

Because ABC “News” and their fellow travelers are totally on board with the strategy.

It’s always interesting how McConnell plans to force failure on a budget he has not seen. Is it any wonder the congress has the lowest approval rating in over 220 years? Mitch McConnell and John Boehner are the very first two congressional employees of this country to actively attempt to force failure on the President of the United States and in doing so force failure on our entire country.

The law says that congress has to fund the government. They are allowed to do with with appropriation bills as they have been. You won’t see a budget again until after this election. Obama has done what is required of him every year and this isn’t about him.

Obama is done, he has cooked his goose by stomping all over the first amendment! When he took on the church and freedom of religion, he made a huge mistake, its going to cost him the election!

So, any one want to guess what the last time was that a congress simply “passed” a budget proposed by a president? Thought so.

And if you understand how our government works, it is the congress that holds the purse strings. It is the congress that sets the budget (except when its incapable of doing so in which case they pass “continuing resolutions). Except we haven’t had a budget for years, and aren’t likely to get one soon. Which means that presidents proposal will fall by the wayside, but he and his admin will decide what gets spent out of the CR allotments because our congress continues to abdicate it’s duties.

McConnell’s personal loathing of Obama is getting old as it impacts American’s and the job that Congress is suppose to be doing. There is a reason Congress is at an all time low of 10%. McConnell get over yourself and your loathing and either do your job that my taxes go towards or get out of Congress and become a lobbyist.

When did the job of our representatives become obstruction of process? It isn’t partisan anymore. Now it is like a quest for stardom to be the next elected official to refuse to do their job.

Joe and Mitch are both proud of their unwillingness to participate constructively. Why do we keep electing these people? The complain about how we are headed to financial oblivion and then they refuse to propose a budget and promise to vote against anything from Obama.

Things have become far too personal in Washington. I don’t care how you feel about the president as a person. He appears to be one of the few folks making any effort right now. I’m sad that not one of our elected officials in congress has anything to offer.

America needs great patriots not “America’s Next Top Model” to represent us. Stop worrying about being a “_____-American” and start being an American.

I don’t care where you were from any more than you care about my ancestry. We have the greatest nation on earth as our home now. When do we drop the petty social equality/politically correct BS and start worrying about the very real and very scary world around us?

Thanks!

BIG JIMMY: ‘Sounds like you’re listening to too much Hannity ’cause you’re quoting him word-for-word. Obama is a constitutional scholar (taught it at Harvard). Nobody “took on ” the church. The issue of equal access to women’s health needs maybe something you don’t care about or don’t recognize as the driving force behind what has been proposed. If you weren’t so blinded by your hatred for the POTUS you might be able to use some mature reasoning instead of immature rhetoric from right wing talk shows that are as one-sided as a billboard. Take off your blinders and you’ll see that Obama’s chances for re-election are very good.

Mikeyboy, were are his grades, have you seen them, noone els has, they are a big secret. You need to get out more often and not just take someones word for everything. No one denies women access to birth control or the day after pill, why does not Planned Parenthood give them FREE they already receive over $500,000 from the taxpayer, what will be next that all men have to wear condoms, and everyone has to pay for them, because they want them FREE, lets see how far that will go.
DAN, when Sen.Reid stated that he does not need a budget, were does that leave everyone else.As for everyone wants to see the President fail, he is doing a pretty good job all by himself.
CRU, listen to when Sen.Reid tells everyone that he does not need a budget.
Democrats will not pass a budget, that would force them to admit that they only want to spend, spend, spend. play the class warfare card and all the have to offer is to tax the rich, according to the Huffington post, everyone making over $37000 is rich. So when January 1, 2013 comes along and all ove our taxes will increase drasticly, then where will be, or do you think the world will end Dec.21, 2012.

Lizzie: According to the figures of the FDsys republican presidential administrations have higher deficits on average than their democrat counter parts.

“Mikeyboy, were are his grades, have you seen them, noone els has, they are a big secret.”…… Not really. Unless you can’t grasp what Magna Cum Laude at Harvard means. It’s on their website if you need help to figure this out. You can also find mention in their paper of Obama graduating Magna.

If the budget is not balanced and is likely to lead to more borrowing then it should not pass. Only balanced budget please.

So what else is new. The thing I don’t get is how the average evry day American cannot figure out that McConnell and all the establishment Republicans…just do not care about them at all.

ummmm those of you who keep blaming the republicans for all the problems….who has been running the country for the past 3 years, and who has the majority in the senate? Open your eys to reality, both parties are responsible for the problems we are facing, equally, but right now the democrats are in charge. Plus reality check, how long has it been since the senate democrats even offered a budget, which is their job!!!!!

tmferretti say “Mitch McConnell has one agenda, the defeat of this President.”

Isn’t it wonderful when members of Congress actually listen to “the People” and carry out our wishes!

Magna Cum Laude! Big freaking deal…I got one in Electrical Engineering hanging on the wall behind me right now. The guy is a fraud dumb dums.

The “people” are hurting. The people want things done and expedited, not political games that helps no one. This is the most obstructionist republican party since the one FDR had to deal with in 1932. Hopefully they will go the way that those republicans did in 1934.

Gloat. Obstruct. Destroy.
How about collaborating to do something to improve the country, Mitch? So sick of the New Karl Rovified Republican Party. I USED to vote Republican!

Why are you keeping such people in the senate. For the love of humanity people have him recalled in the next elections. He is so out of this world. That is what happens when you have achieved all you hoped for.

McConnell’s acting like a dunk tank clown. Not sure I get the strategy there.

Republicans have two speeds: attack, and destroy. America is fed up with their inability to do anything constructive. November cannot come fast enough. We need to get the GOParty of No out of power completely if we want a chance to continue recovering from their LAST disaster.

Really TMFERRETTI!! Harry Reid hasn’t held up any bills in the Senate?? Do your own fact check on that, I’m tired of wasting my time with liars like you and the rest of scum-bag liberals destined to destroy this country by voting for Obama in a second term. Idiot!

STUPID, STUBBORN, SENILE OLD MAN !!!!

The republican learning curve is flat, they learn nothing. Their trickledown theories have gotten us into this mess just as those theories got us into the great depression. Now they want to try it all over again.

Although an improving economy is an antithesis to the republicans, it’s happening. Now as the President says “if Congress doesn’t muck it up it will continue to improve.

What makes you think any of the republican candidates will do better. They’ve proposed nothing so far except more tax breaks and reregulation of the rich. Explain to me why it failed 4 years ago and will work now.

Repubs have learned the lesson that’s it’s a bad idea for the government to help poor people be able to purchase homes. That precept that RINO Bush followed was a disaster. Repubs will not repeat that same mistake but I’m not too sure about the Demos.

@012 Vote Conservative for a change.

Helping the poor and middle class own a home is an admirable task. I agree, the banks could have done a better job of screening but they were de-regulated by the Bush administration, and didn’t have to. Now President Obama and the Justice Department have settled with the banks for 23 billion dollars to be used to help people keep their homes.

Another program that will help is making it easier for foreign tourist to travel to the United States. This will bring a great deal of money and jobs to the resort states.

The President is doing everything he can to get this economy moving. The republicans need to come up with some ideas of their own instead of calling each other and the President names.
