February: Dems Fall All Over Themselves Praising Obama’s Budget Plan. Today: Same Budget Plan Fails in Senate 0-97 After Zero Dems Vote For it…
It’s almost like they were full of it back in February.
(Washington Examiner) – Zero Senate Democrats voted to move forward on President Obama’s 2012 budget proposal, and the motion to proceed on it failed by a unanimous 0-97 vote.
What this means is that thus far, no Senate Democrat has voted in favor of any budget plan.
As Guy Benson notes, this was the same Obama budget that Democrats effusively praised when it was released in February:
SEN. HARRY REID (D-NV): “President Obama’s budget is a serious attempt…” (Sen. Reid, Press Release, 2/14/11)
SEN. CHUCK SCHUMER (D-NY): “This is a responsible proposal… I believe this approach should have bipartisan support.” (Sen. Schumer Press Release, 2/15/11)

Lol, They did to him what he did to BiBi…..
Ironic.
Next the lib media will be saying that Obama’s budget got perfect marks in the Senate.
I hate these Fing Demonrats. Every pandering one of them….
Not surprising. The Democrats think that not passing a budget will work for them in the 2012 elections. They will portray any Republican attempt to pass a budget as wanting to kill old people, throw poor people out on the street, and starve children. They will portray everything else by the Republicans as racist.
That is the game plan. The Republicans better figure out a way to deal with it.
Never trust a ‘rat.
The new treasurer of the Virginia Tea Party Alliance (PAC) said the two parties SHOULD be referred to as Republican and Communist, because for all intents and purposes, the Dems no longer exist. When I thought about this, I can’t recall a single old-school dem disagreeing with this when we talked about it during the ’08 election season.
Thanks a lot for this one ZIP. The Progressive’s hypocrisy knows no bounds.
I love this site…
that’s why I recommend it in the real world…
Absolutely pathetic. I hate politicians.
See Zip is keeping Dems tied down to where were just a few seconds ago.
It’s like that SNL skit from back in the day “It was much better than Cats.. I enjoyed myself”
