Budgets do not come from the White House.
They come from Congress and the party that controlled Congress FROM January 2007 till January 2011 was the Democratic Party.
Furthermore, the Democrats controlled the budget process for FY 2008 and FY 2009 as well as FY 2010 and FY 2011.
For FY 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the FY 2009 budgets.
If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the FY 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets.
And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete FY 2009.
If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself.
In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th, 2009.
"BAIL'EM OUT? Hell, back in 1990, the Government seized the Mustang Ranch brothel in NV for tax evasion and, as required by law, tried to run it. They failed & it closed. Now we are trusting the economy of our country, banking system, auto industry & possibly our health plans to the same nit-wits who couldn't make money running a whore house and selling whiskey! What the Hell are we thinking?

OBAMACARE
I fully support the various States Attorney Generals who are preparing legal action against this boneheadded OBAMA, REID, PELOSI Health Care Bill. UNFORTUNEAETLY they MUST WAIT till OBAMA signs it to proceed.
When you disrespect the beliefs of Americans and especially your constituents you will suffer politically.
REID, PELOSI and BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA are attempting to try and change America forever!
Americans do not want what the DEMOCRATS are trying to RAM down our throats!
WHY the politicians would follow REID, PELOSI and BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA down this political train wreck and go against the desires of the American people is unbelievable.

Two quotes to ponder:
Two quotes to ponder:
1. " Life's tough....it's even tougher if you're stupid."......John Wayne
2. "My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you'll join with me as we try to change it.".....Barack Obama
Unfortunately, we are now beginning to understand what the second one means and what the first one says about us.

FLU SHOT SHORTAGE SHOWS OBAMA INCOMPETENCE
OBAMA And CREW INACTION (not a typo)
How can the government pretend that it can manage, overhaul, streamline, and reform the health care system in the United States when it can’t even deliver enough flu shots to prevent a pandemic?
We have seen the H1N1 virus coming for over a year. It is no surprise that much of America needs vaccination. It was no secret that the flu season was approaching. But, now that it is upon us, we find ourselves pathetically short of shots.

Conservative vs liberal
If a conservative doesn’t like guns, he doesn`t buy one.

CNN Drops to Last Place Among Cable News Networks
This is what happens when you don't provide the audience "FAIR AND BALANCED" reporting!
CNN, which invented the cable news network more than two decades ago, will hit a new competitive low with its prime-time programs in October, finishing fourth – and last – among the cable news networks with the audience that all the networks rely on for their advertising.
