Ouch! Talk about slapping the Dictator-In-Chief in the face, this does it. Let’s see how my math is. Assuming all 242 Republicans voted against the irresponsible Obama budget, that would mean 172 Democrats did also. That’s 89.5% of congressional Democrats joining Republicans in rebuking Obama’s budget. Sounds pretty bipartisan to me!
Oh, and that ridiculous Boweles-Simpson deficit reduction plan that basically guts our military, jacks taxes up, and if the deficit reduction committee comes to a stalemate, Obama then gets to decide what to do… Well that bad legislation was up before a vote and was also crushed 382-38, which means about 170 Democrats joined Republicans in killing it.
Those geniuses in the Congressional Black Caucus came up with an alternative of their own. You’re not going to believe this.
The House also defeated an alternative offered by the Congressional Black Caucus that would have included $4 trillion in additional tax increases on top of those Mr. Obama proposed, and used that money to boost spending on domestic programs.
There’s an old saying that evidently no one in the Congressional Black Caucus has ever heard, and it goes like this. “You can only get so much blood out of a turnip.”
It’s absolutely stunning at how stupid members of the Congressional Black Caucus really are. Jethro Bodine and his 6th grade education is a genius compared to those fools.
