Obama Leads From Behind On The Budget

Fiscal Policy: The House and Senate have passed their respective, wildly different budget plans to cope with the nation's debt crisis. So where's the president? Seems he'd rather do anything but lead on this critical issue.

By law, the president is obligated to produce a budget plan on the first Monday of February, establishing his priorities for federal spending and taxes for the next year and the decade ahead. It's the first step that gets this all-important annual process under way, one that's more critical than ever as the U.S. careens toward a massive debt crisis.

[snip] But Obama apparently can't be bothered with this mundane responsibility......

[snip] Instead, Obama is planning yet another pointless and costly trip around the country, this time to try to rally support for politically expedient gun control laws.

[snip] The House GOP budget balances the books in just 10 years, without raising taxes.

The Senate Democrats want to raise taxes another $1 trillion — on top of Obama's $1.3 trillion in tax hikes — and still produces deficits as far as the eye can see.

When the POTUS preaches against any portion of our Constitution, isn't that tantamount to treason? ...at least breaking his sworn duty to obey and protect the US Constitution and doesn't Congress have a duty to step in and stop him? Someone help me out here....

Obama's last budget got voted down in the Senate 99-0.

The MSM hushed that up but now such a vote would get more press. Obama's a coward.
