In the GOP's weekly address, House Republican Conference Vice-Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.) blasted Obama for his recent budget proposal, saying it would put America on "a roadmap to Greece.

The president's latest budget proves that he doesn't really support gun rights.

Republicans have called Obama’s $3.8 trillion budget a "campaign document" and reporters have called it a ‘wish list", but neither term does it justice.

Obama’s latest budget is a fraud, a scam, an unadulterated flimflam, and a wooden nickel.

And this new budget neatly captures the moral bankruptcy of Obama’s presidency!

Right Now Obama Only Cares About Reelection

Obama understands that he is trapped by the failure of his policies and the laws of economics and politics, and this new budget inadvertently reveals that he is serious about nothing except re-election.

Candidate Obama Is Back

Acting like a candidate running in a party primary instead of a president with a duty to govern, this new budget attempts to glue together reams of fictional numbers that hardly warrant a second glance.

Unless of course you believe in the fantasies of a community organizer, that has a vision of utopia and can read from a TelePrompTer.

The Ends Justifies The Means

Obama clearly believes that to fulfil his mission that he needs another four years, and to that end he will say anything that serves to get him reelected.

And freed from duty and facts, he’s submitted this fallacious $3.8 trillion concoction to Congress as an official document under the presidential seal.

No Better Than His Last Failed Budget

This new budget if submitted would get the same number of votes Obama’s last budget got in the Senate.

The one that was defeated 97-0 which means that the stalemate will continue and Obama will undoubtedly attempt to compound the lie by pretending it’s not his fault.

It was already abundantly clear back in the fall of 2008 that Obama would always blame others and also that he had an extremist left-wing agenda.

It has now been more than 1,000 days since Democrats passed a budget, when all that was needed was a Senate majority which they have, and have had since 2006!

And Harry Reid’s Response

Majority Leader Harry Reid, perhaps in an attempt to spare the president from another embarrassment, has until now refused the simple formality of a vote.

“We do not need to bring a budget to the floor this year".

he said, declining to offer even a little backhanded praise for Obama’s presentation.

Reid knows for sure that he could’t even muster a handful of votes for this hoax.

Many Dems Do Have A Conscience

Conscience won’t allow a great many Dems to decimate the military and nor will they follow him in refusing to recognize the debt and deficit as mortal threats to the nation.

Raising Taxes?

Even Democratic party dead-enders aren’t in the mood to raise taxes on virtually every worker for yet another round of "stimulus".

Because they know rancid pork when they smell it, and most aren’t interested in risking their careers to endorse it.

So Will Obama Lose The Presidency?

It might be tempting to believe that Obama has had his turn, and that his extreme leftist vision for America has failed, and that he will be swept away by a tide of skeptical voters.

But a great many Americans are scared, and for all the country’s cynicism about Washington’s lies from the Oval Office, around 48% of them are still being fooled at the time of writing.

Another Record for Obamanomics. February 3, 2012 | Filed under Economics,Employment | Posted by Rodney Graves. And like all such records, it's not one that's doing the nation a damn bit of good.

President Obama has frequently justified his policies and judged their outcomes in terms of equity, justice and fairness.

All of which begs an obvious question,

How does our existing system and his own policy record stack up according to those criteria?

1) Is it fair that the richest 1% of Americans pay nearly 40% of all federal income taxes, and the richest 10% pay two-thirds of the tax?

2) Is it fair that the richest 10% of Americans shoulder a higher share of their country’s income tax burden than do the richest 10% in every other industrialized nation, including socialist Sweden?

3) Is it fair that American corporations pay the highest statutory corporate tax rate of all other industrialized nations but Japan, which cuts its rate on April 1?

4) Is it fair that President Obama sends his two daughters to elite private schools that are safer, better-run, and produce higher test scores than public schools in Washington, D.C. while millions of other families across America are denied that free choice and are forced to send their kids to second-rate schools?

5) Is it fair that Americans who build a family business, hire workers, reinvest and save their money—paying a lifetime of federal, state and local taxes often climbing into the millions of dollars must then pay an additional estate tax of 35% (and up to 55% when the law changes next year) when they die, rather than passing that money onto their loved ones?

6) Is it fair that Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, former Democratic Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, former Ways and Means Chairman Charlie Rangel and other leading Democrats who preach tax fairness underpaid their own taxes?

7) Is it fair that after the first three years of Obamanomics that the poor are poorer, that the poverty rate is rising, that the middle class is losing income, and some 5.5 million fewer Americans have jobs today than in 2007?

8) Is it fair that roughly 88% of political contributions from supposedly impartial network television reporters, producers and other employees in 2008 went to Democrats?

9) Is it fair that the three counties with America’s highest median family income just happen to be located in the Washington, D.C., metro area?

10) Is it fair that wind, solar and ethanol producers get billions of dollars of subsidies each year and pay virtually no taxes, while the oil and gas industry which provides at least 10 times as much energy pays tens of billions of dollars of taxes while the president complains that it is "subsidized"?

11) Is it fair that those who work full-time jobs, and sometimes more than one in order to make ends meet have to pay taxes to support up to 99 weeks of unemployment benefits for those who don’t work?

12 Is it fair that those who took out responsible mortgages and pay them each month have to see their tax dollars used to subsidize those who acted recklessly, greedily and sometimes deceitfully in taking out mortgages they now can’t afford to repay?

13) Is it fair that thousands of workers won’t have jobs because the president sided with environmentalists and blocked the shovel-ready Keystone XL oil pipeline?

14) Is it fair that some of Mr. Obama’s largest campaign contributors received federal loan guarantees on their investments in renewable energy projects that went bust?

15) Is it fair that federal employees receive benefits that are nearly 50% higher than those of private-sector workers whose taxes pay their salaries, according to the Congressional Budget Office?

16) Is it fair that soon almost half the federal budget will take income from young working people and redistribute it to old non-working people, even though those over age 65 are already among the wealthiest Americans?

17) Is it fair that in 27 states workers can be compelled to join a union in order to keep their jobs?

18) Is it fair that nearly four out of 10 American households now pay no federal income tax at all, and is a number that has risen every year under Mr. Obama?

19) Is it fair that Boeing, which is a private company, was threatened by a federal agency when it sought to add jobs in a right-to-work state rather than in a forced-union state?

20) Is it fair that our kids and grandstands and great-grand-kids who never voted for Mr. Obama will have to pay off the $5 trillion of debt accumulated over the past four years, without any benefits to them?

What do you think? Was it fair?
