President Obama to Propose Partial Budget Freeze and Earmark Ban Tonight

ABC News ^ | 01/25/2011

[Mr. K]

yes! let’s freeze it at 1.4 trillion dollar deficit levels!!!

what a dumb A$$ HOLE he is

[Sundog]

Congress didn’t pass a budget. They passed a resolution the budget was whatever they cared to spend. Nobody will call them on that-just watch!

[La Lydia]

This is a farce. If he were serious, he would be working to get it rolled back to 2007 levels. He, personally, has driving the debt and deficit spending through the roof, and now he wants to freeze it at that obscene level. Will be interesting to see if the Repubs buy into this.

Suddenly, every union bailout will be defined as essential to National Security

[N. Theknow]

Max out the credit cards and then proclaim that he isn’t going to use them anymore.

[RexBeach]

So far, “Mr. Market” does not like the freeze idea.

This is simply another version of the old DC game called “Kick The Can”.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Last year President Obama proposed three-year hard freeze on non-security discretionary spending . . .

It worked so well last year that this year 0bama's proposing a five year freeze.

[Doogle]

...changed within a couple of hours from freeze to partial freeze....

[ReneeLynn]

Physician heal thyself.

[MNDude]

is this Groundhog’s Day? I’ve already heard this all before from him!

[Tzimisce]

...the bull$h!t is going to pile up so fast we’re going to need shovels to keep from getting buried....

[4rcane]

Increase spending by $3, then reduce spending by $1, then say, lets freeze our current spending level. Spending increase is still $2 higher than before

[RetiredArmy]

No worries Amerika. He still has two years to save us. No worries at all. After his propaganda speech tonight, his ratings according to the MSM will sore to 89% approval and 95% disapproval of the tea parties, Palin, and republicans.

[ScottinVA]

Yeah, now that he got his laundry list checked off. And the media will trumpet him as the hero of austerity and discipline after tonight.

[Venturer]

I thought he cut off earmaks when he was a candidate for the Presidency.

Is he just getting around to it or just repeating the same lie.
