House passes huge GOP budget cuts, opposing Obama

[RobJohnson]

WASHINGTON – In a prelude to a summer showdown with President Barack Obama, Republicans controlling the House pushed to passage on Friday a bold but politically dangerous budget blueprint to slash social safety net programs like food stamps and Medicaid and fundamentally restructure Medicare health care for the elderly

Obama and the Democrats are all talk and little to no action.  The Republicans just took a step in the right direction.

RedState is saying that Obama's still thinking, "I won."

No, he didn't--and won't in less than two years.

Hi,

I see several problems on the horizon regarding the budget and debt cieling.  Obama was beyond arrogant today when he basically said that the bill he signed defunded the czars but he was not going to abide by it.  He then said he had the votes for re-election and basically told congress to shove it.

In a negotiations you have a real problem when you are trying to negotiate with a liar.  Obama basically agreed to defund the czars and then did not honor his deal.  There was another issue at the time where he basically pulled something back he had agreed to at the last minute..  That is really a problem.

Normally, in the business world you have to negotiate controls to protect yourself.  In this case, the republicans might have to say that the czars are gone, offices cleaned out and staff gone or the debt cieling does not get approved.  In other words call public attention to the fact that he did not honor his deal and, until he does, there are no more deals.

Unfortunately I doubt that Boehner has the courage to do what is right.

That would be nice to see, but I fear you are correct about Boehner lacking the spine and leadership to do it.

Obama is an empty suit narcissist with sharp elbows. The worst kind. I wouldn't trust him to run a bake sale. The GOP better have a game plan!

House Republicans turn from dissent to unity in budget votes

For House Republicans, what a difference a day makes.

On Thursday, 59 members of the GOP conference broke with leadership to oppose a 2011 spending compromise, ignoring pleas for support from Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio).

Twenty-four hours later, the party turned to the 2012 budget blueprint and won a near-unanimous endorsement from rank-and-file Republican on a proposal to slash nearly $6 trillion over the next decade. All but four GOP lawmakers backed the plan, with just one member of the feisty freshman class, Rep. David McKinley (W.Va.), opposed it. (Every Democrat opposed the bill.) >>>

This is more like it. Meanwhile King Stinky continues with his radical and statist ideological mandates. He now deliberately lies to the American people with liberal propaganda and lies about what the Republicans are doing and plan to do.

Yeah, Stinky is historic alright ... him and his 'czars'.
