He didn't have the votes in the U.S. Senate.

My turn: How do you not know this?


Please answer the question, your line for Casey Jr. Circus Train is still pretty long.

Obama also didn't have the votes to change Obamacare either. Apparently the house and senate can by bypassed, so again, why didn't Obama change the budget?



Dont blame Republicans for blowing up the deficit....Blame Democrats for not cleaning up the Republican's mess fast enough. That'll make a great platform for the GOP in 2016.

Boilerman was the head cheerleader for the multi-TRILLION dollar war in Iraq and tax policy of the Bush Administration. But now he's upset the pay-mechanisms of a 10 billion dollar bill might not be 100% reconciled in the first quarter this year.

Like I said...its a little hard to take the B-Man seriously on this topic.
Obama's inability to turn a few Republican senators shows weak leadership. The only way he can govern is to issue executive orders like a king. Other presidents who did not have control of congress managed to get things done

Oh the things that you don't know!

President Obama needs to to turn A MAJORITY OF REPUBLICAN HOUSE MEMBERS to get anything passed. That's because of the GOP's Hastert Rule, which says that the Republican Speaker will not bring up anything for a vote unless a majority of Republicans favor it.

You got that? The House is no longer ruled by majority vote, it's ruled by a majority Republicans votes only. And to get anything done, Obama needs to turn 117 of them. And that's the president's fault right?

When the Democrats control the House, they have no such anti-democracy rule.

Well, are chilcoot or forkush going to ever answer boilerman's repeated question or are they going to continue to dodge his question while playing the liberal finger pointing game they always resort to?

Please see above. Chilcoot answered it two hours and 59 minutes before your post.

Now don't you feel silly?

The deficit has been cut in half under this administration largely on the philosophy that government spending needs to be paid for....a concept completely foreign to the previous administration. I get worried when the government says they will pay for something by cutting taxes which is the standard sales pitch of politicians Boilerman historically has voted for.


? can I have what your smoking there PJ? I wouldn't need those Vicodins anymore.

Note: you may want to try the Clinton administration, W typically kept his about 400bil and Obama budget was how many TRILLION over budget?

Chef, it you don't know the difference between the deficit and the national debt, go ask somebody.
forkush, if you don't know the difference between the words "it" and "if", go ask somebody.
