Obama fail! Senate rejects his budget 97 to 0!
The GOP may have been known as the party of “no” but Democrats are now officially the party of “Don’t Know.” While Paul Ryan’s budget plan which provided the Democrats ammo for their mediscare tactics, it was defeated not only along party lines, but also 4 RINOs and Rand Paul who didn’t think it went far enough. Ryan’s budget failed in the Senate 40-57. But the truly laughable and historic rejection came from Obama’s pitiful attempt at a budget proposal. ABC as usual buried the coverage of Obama’s epic budget failure near the bottom of their story (and it probably will never appear on TV.) 90% of the story was devoted to talking about Paul Ryan’s “controversial budget proposal.” They even dropped in NY-26 into a story which had no relevance. Yet, in an attempt to cover Obama’s ass, they claim Republicans wanted to “turn the tables” on Democrats despite ever Democrat voting against it. They even use the excuse for Obama’s budget as “outdated.”
But in an attempt to turn the tables on Democrats, Republicans then forced a procedural vote on President Obama’s budget submission from February. That measure failed by a vote of 0-97, with all the Democrats voting against it because they believe it is now outdated.
Looks like we are going another year without a budget. Yet another historic Democrat and Obama accomplishment.
