President Obama's budget kicks the hard choices further down the road
Tuesday, February 15, 2011; 12:00 AM

President Obama's budget kicks the hard choices further down the road



The Obama Budget
Published: February 14, 2011

The Republicans should first make him admit he's a failed leader

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. ... It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our government's reckless fiscal policies." -- Barack Hussein Obama, Community Organizer and low-level socialist agitator

It's good to be King. This guy is the last guy who should be preaching to anyone about hard work. How many Vacations is he up to now? He's taken far more Vacations than the average American could. It's good to be King for sure.

I have no idea how many vacations Bush took compared to Obama. I do, however, know for a fact that Obama has done more rounds of golf in 2 years than Bush did in 8. In fact, he played more golf in 1 year than Bush did in 8.
