Obama Budget: 99 Senators Against, 0 For
Two months ago, Congress voted down the "Obama budget" by a vote of 414-0. Today, the Senate chimed in. The result was just as definitive. Final outcome, between the Congress and the Senate, a grand total of zero votes were cast for the Obama budget... and a mere 513 against.
From Washington Times:
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.
At this point what is even the point of commenting on these increasingly more surreal developments. When one encounters news like these, what can one say but... "Banana republic". In the meantime, America is in the second, or third year, frankly who is even counting anymore, without any formal budget. But it sure has a very much informal spending program...

They never discussed his murdered dick sucking choir director Donald Young. We really shouldn't ask such impolite questions.
What happened to "We can't wait"? Obama doesn't have time to wait around for Congress to pass things. He can just make the budget an executive order.
I think ZH had it right a while ago. Every repub should have voted FOR the budget. Let the dems explain why they blocked it. Give this guy what he wants.
Ron Paul should throw his support behind Obama with the slogan "lets do it his way and crash this fkin thing already"

Tim Geithner does not know how to do his taxes. Tim Giehnter is SEC-TRES.
He may not know how to do his taxes, but little Timmy's got deep connections, to Barry of all people.
Just went to all the MSM sites, nothing about it, only O honoring a Vietnam soldier.
Can you imagine if it was 99 for, 0 against, MSM would have 24 hour coverage about O's leadership.

How did they end up like this? Is it an irreversible situation – like a doctor would say – or is the “patient” going to “pass away”? The Greeks have a unique way of explaining even the most complicated things in the simplest words. They usually do this through the use of proverbs. In the case of the Americans, there is a Greek saying which best describes their pratfall: “If you walk at night you step on mud and crap.” Whoever seeks great profit by teaming up with “evil” Jews is bound to end up in a “crappy” debt situation. In the end, not only is he going to make zero profit, but he will also fail to save the current possessions. This is exactly what has happened to the Americans. They were inexperienced and naive and were played by the Jews. They teamed up with them in the hope of plundering the world and ended up being the biggest victims in the world.

why i need to check every time rt.com to have news?
RT is great, I DVR capitol account, Alyona show, and The Keiser report daily. Keep in mind though they are most likely KGB funded and like all news agency's have an agenda. I've been watching all day and haven't seen them mention this story yet.

Thanks for the post-I missed this item. Milestones
There should really be a mercy rule for this. I've seen some lopsided scores, but 513 to zippo takes the cake.
Zero votes? No Democrats? Has this ever happened?
Can't Obama's AG just make up some unconstitutional BS like Bush and simply sign the budget into law? Issue an executive order, but be sure to announce you are the 'decider' first.
Why the f# would he want another term? He is a really really terrible leader. Go home and become a comedian, that works better for him.
No, go back to the south side of Chicago and continue his role of 3rd rate street punk. I lived on the south side and met dozens of O blah Blah's of all shape sizes and colors. Milwstones
haven't you heard. He leads from behind. idiot supporters say that with a straight face.
what a gong show. Was he hoping for 0 for some strategic reason that only a person with a law degree could logically comprehend?
Yeah, it's a Gong Show alright, and the piss poor participants pretty much guarantee that The Unknown Comic will be going home with the five hundred sixteen dollars and thirty two cents.
How embarrASSing. Thankfully he has a massive ego and blame to pass around to keep this country on that downward slide to Socialism. Weeeeeeee.
yeah, it was a really gay budget from barry.
This really is a confirmation bias circle jerk. It wasn't Obama's budget, it was some sort of false fascimile created by the Republicans to prove some point.
Thanks for droppin' by to slurp up the spliz.
The floor was gettin' rather sticky.
The numbers were lifted straight from obamas budget proposal. If any of the numbers were incorrect the blue team was invited to correct them. No one on the blue team disputed any of the numbers
It's not truly's fault. He only read the headline before Idol came on!
"Confirmation bias circle jerk."
That describes the internet in a nutshell.
They're getting you used to not having a budget .... soon any transparency that remains will be gone. The only thing better than being able to print unlimited amounts of money is to be able to do it without anyone knowing you're doing it.
51% of americans do not pay taxes. 51% of congress agrees that there should not be a budget.
Where can I get an MBA?
51% pay no:
FICA
Sales tax
property tax (even indirectly through rent)
auto registration fees
etc. and so on
?
You know He's not called president "Zero" for nothing, after all...
One of your Senators is missing?
at least its bounded.
not to worry . they've already blown themselves up. all trust is gone. it's over. the Federal Gov't as we currenly know it will be shrinking dramatically as people either stop paying taxes in protest (revolution) or just drop out of the current system. buy some silver, start a garden & scale back consumption. looks like i'll be canning this summer, just like my Grandma Jo did so many years ago. first, tho, i have to make myself a root cellar . berry picking season starts in July.
We are all going galt little by little just like you linnybee
Damn.need your help here.
My missus agrees with the ,guns. gold ,silver, water and food.
Will not let me plant a veggie garden though.
Any ideas?
Truly,
Bringing in bigger guns huh?
You are still a worthless fuck.
Does not matter how cute you find yourself to be.
Go for it shithead.
It's the fight we want.
No offense, actually maybe just a little, or maybe I'm missing something, but what are you talking about? Who's this we, and fight about what? I'm thinking you're just some shit head drudgebot who thinks if just the republicans get back in power everything will be fine and dandy (at least you're coming off that way) but really, you sound insane. You're replying to no one about something then means nothing except in your head. I'm 30. So I can actuallyfight by the way. And I'm prob going to half to cuz the previous two generations fucked the world. And im not looking forward to it because the revolution so i"m off you want you really dont understand. What good are guns when there is a hundred people at your door who dont give a fuck? This isn't a wyatt earp movie where you say I'll kill one of you first, they won't care cuz they'll be futureless. like me.
Lol most of us have the weaponry and support to kill a hundred people trying to rush us if we have to
Remember overlapping fields of fire
Do ya figure it'll stop at around a hundred people, then?
Depends on how fast they learn I suppose
I say this in the nicest possible way, Joe.
That isn't going to help. But I guess you'll look awesome defending the Alamo.
Don't be the guy trying to hold the crowd back- those are your neighbors. Be the guy leading that mob to the gates of the right castles, instead.
Yeah, it's surreal. But wait for even more surreal BS for the next 6 months of campaigning.
I wonder if the Obummer will mention how much it has cost the taxpayers, current and future, for alll those saved and created jobs. No chance would be my guess.

This little girl is light-years ahead of Obama when it comes to economics and common sense.
This little girl puts most home-schooled little kids to shame.
I wonder, how many pieces of legislation have ever been voted down unanimously by the entire US Congress? Has there ever been such a strong bipartisan consensus? 513 - 0 ... damn.
This makes two years in a row
Isnt it 1026 to 0 against the dicksucker's budget?
(not that there is anything wrong with slurping on some nice goob if you are so inclined)
Is "slurping on some nice goob" homo slang? I gave you an up arrow, for tact.
Lol not sure. I just like to be creative with words and maybe somebody somewhere might think I am cool
Plenty of free straight porn, one on one, one man one woman(married in NC?) on the interwebs. Stay away from that two guys stuff and the homo remarks should quit coming (witty pun?) so easily.

Small wonder that the Mayans picked 2012 for the end. There is so much polarity in DC that it is obvious that there will be a movement of the magnet poles. What is unknown is whether DC becomes the North Pole or South Pole!
What's more uncertain is which gallows pole?
Amazing, how out of touch the man can be. He even alienates his own party.

Oh Man! What an Awesome Move! Those Republicans sure are claever! (sic) The Democrats are just a bunch of men of Principle! Surely you can now perceive the difference!
What a crock.
If you really want to gain some political insight - watch our fiscally conservative, small gov. guys work around a budget cut to the farm bill...y'know Monsanto/ADM welfare...
Bought dogs - one and all - except for Rep. Ron Paul and Sen. Bernie Sanders.
Bernie is a socialist cocksucker I can respect
I better quit talking about sucking dicks. Somebody might wonder why I am obsessed with it
While Monsanto and ADM certainly make out on the farm bills, it is even more a subsidy to the food prices of urban dwellers who produce absolutely nothing themselves.
I would like little more than to see all farm subsidies cut, then rake in as food prices go up like a rocket. I would go from part time small market grower to full time farmer in a heartbeat.
I still want to see his birth certificate. Snicker.

There's a reason.
Time once again for the prophet:

"a grand total of zero votes were cast for the Obama budget... and a mere 513 against."
Surely someone at least voted "present"?
How many total votes has Obama gotten for his budget sine he became POTUS? 50, maybe?
Ungrateful!...The lot of YOU!!...
What about Obama-Care?...
How easy, we forget.
Nothing will change as long as the media lines up behind this president as they have repeatedly. Another Continuing Resolution fight in which the Republicans get abused by the dnc media outlets. Maybe in the lame duck session something gets done but what this points out is how much of a failed leader we have elected. Leadership means sometimes figuring out a compromise and making tough decisions that may go against the core. This president fails on all levels of leadership. Though I never voted for him I never thought he would turn out to be this bad.
the proof is in the pudding, yum!
Seriously, look at Obama's record. Why would ANYONE line up with him?
We are looking like Socialist France more and more.

Embarrassment would imply shame.
I'm starting to believe that Obama has none. At all.
They ain't going to vote on behalf of no CIA agent.
Isn't that like a vote of NO confidence? Can't they throw the bumb out for that.

Sad what has happened to baseball but I don't pay for those pretty princes to hop from one town to another; I'd rather watch Little League.
Congress is useless; a gaggle of equivocating egoists peppered with a few decent powerless idealists.
Well... at least Congress can agree on something. No budget, ever.
I have an idea. Maybe Uncle Scam can retrofit all those F22s into super-drones for 500 mil a piece since they can't seem to keep the pilots alive. No budget, no problem.
Republicrats thats what they are, all part of the establishment. Partisan is dead the gig is up red=blue, purple?? there is no purple only black, the dark force has taken over. We need a revolution
Racists!
What the hell was in this budget? An abolishment of government pay?
When Barack Obama announced the US (2010) national budget for this year, we experienced unprecedented feelings. Never before had an imperialistic power moved them to pity. This is unthought-of. This year’s deficit is estimated to be $1.6 trillion and its foreign debt has gotten completely out of hand. It hits numbers that only mathematicians and astrophysicists knew existed few decades ago. There is no space for these numbers in the electronic boards so it is driven to add new elements on them.
It all started with the big crisis of 1929. The American economy reached a deadlock because of its social "pathogenesis"; a deadlock that led it to economic crisis in a different - faster- pace than the rest of the industrial forces of that time. Important decisions had to be made - mostly social - and the Whites didn't like that, especially the Whites' rulers, the Anglo-Saxons.

Is Zero the new majority?
Very insightful. It is true. When no one agrees, that mean everyone disagrees. They have no mandate. They are very close to ruling without anyone behind them who voted or them. In a republic that implies anarchy if they had to walk away, so seeing as they are still sitting there, welcome to fascism.
No budget from Senate, and no votes to support Obama's budget.
And yet...spending and taxation and deficits and wars and loss of liberties all march on.
the more you see goverment actions the more you think the best/only hope may be Ron Paul

So mom and dad can't decide on a budget so they get the kids to go out and work. Yet since they don't seem to be pulling their weight either they all as a close family decide to buy stuff made out of country using their Visa cards. That isn't working says one kid. What did you say? No, that black sheep has to go. One kid gone for good. Bless her heart. But don't worry, mom is pregnant again, daughter is on kid 2, and son and father also have a few out there in wildnerness that they to can put to work once born to pay off all their debts.

This incompetent baffoon! We are racing full speed to a brick wall and he can't even get serious about saving us from the innevitable doom? What a selfish SOB!
Barack Hussein Obama is not half black. He is the first Arab-American President, not the first black President. Barack Hussein Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother's side and 43.75% Arabic and 6.25% African Negro from his father's side. While Barack Hussein Obama's father was from Kenya , his father's family was mainly Arabs.
Barack Hussein Obama's father was only 12.5% African Negro and 87.5% Arab (his father's birth certificate even states he's Arab, not African Negro) and only 6.25% African.
The name is Arabic and 'Baraka' (from which Barack came) means 'blessed' in that language. Hussein is also Arabic and so is Obama.
If you want to be clear about who's who, we're going to need blood samples and cheek-swabs from everyone in the country. Then you can really get your classification program going.
Maybe you should start a new political party. The TEA Party never suggested this, did they?
This is exceptional US policy in action. The political groups in Washington are clueless. Monetary policy at 0%. Interest rates at levels matching Japan. US population surging as over 50% are now non-English speaking "right" of centre liberals & freaks. The others will keep population growth going for decades as US becomes Spainish, Asian, Cuban, Chinese, African by default. Some will be more productive than others (enuf said on that topic). The point is US will NOT turn out like Japan whose population will be halved by 2050 a bit later (can't remember). Combine (1)0% rates (2)10% government spending (3)population growth led by minorities (4)self-sufficeincy on cheap energy (oh is that oil and gas collapsing). And a global currency such as fortress DOLLAR (rather than the spec GOLD crap that ZH and MK keep flogging) and you will have 4% GDP in H2 2012 and again in 2013. This will be a DREAM for the next muppet in the White House (who cares who it is !). US companies are going to be the new kings on the block. Clint Eastwood for GM said it at Super Bowl. America stop moaning and get off your fat ass. Only one extra recommendation for US BULL GDP STORY-----ban fast food outlets and see the health budget shrink 50% !!
Ban fast food outlets and see the violence stats drop and school grades rise. But they'll shoot you first. = Banana Republic.
As a resident of a 'banana republic' I am offended by your characterisation that anything as silly (and sad) as what's going on in your country could ever happen here.
banana republic == no problem.
banana republic with nukes run by predators == problem.
