Who Said The Bipartisan Spirit Was Dead In DC?

Republicans and Democrats unanimously agree that Obama is useless as a budget-maker

President Obama’s budget suffered a second embarrassing defeat Wednesday, when senators voted 99-0 to reject it.

Coupled with the House’s rejection in March, 414-0, that means Mr. Obama’s budget has failed to win a single vote in support this year.

Republicans forced the vote by offering the president’s plan on the Senate floor.

Democrats disputed that it was actually the president’s plan, arguing that the slim amendment didn’t actually match Mr. Obama’s budget document, which ran thousands of pages. But Republicans said they used all of the president’s numbers in the proposal, so it faithfully represented his plan.

Sen. Jeff Sessions, Alabama Republican, even challenged Democrats to point out any errors in the numbers and he would correct them — a challenge no Democrats took up.

“A stunning development for the president of the United States in his fourth year in office,” Mr. Sessions said of the unanimous opposition.

That’s not an “O”…that’s a “ø”

   Let’s not overlook this fine example of bipartisanship as well.

   McCain: the gift that keeps on giving. To the Democrats.

   But they’ll vote for him anyway, those Dems. Blind stupid, that’s them.
