"Republicans in the House of Representatives just spent precious days trying to pass a plan that a majority of Republicans and Democrats in the Senate had already said they wouldn’t vote for," Obama said in the Saturday morning message.

Just goes to show that a broken clock is right twice a day...even if it doesn't know it's right.

TOTUS is absolutely right on this issue.

The House passed Cut, Cap, and Balance. They should have gone on to another issue afterwards.

Exactly.

The House should have passed CCB much earlier, then waited for the Senate to counter with a proposal of their own that they could get 60 votes for. Then it should have gone to reconciliation and finally they would then have left it for Obama—and dared him to veto something both sides of Congress had passed on a bipartisan basis.

All this other BS that Boehner and McConnell put the country through to get a far worse bill was simply intended to thwart the will of the GOP majority in Congress (and the American people).
