[paraphrased from the live broadcast. If I can find the audio later I’ll post a link. If someone finds it first, just post it in the comments. Thanks] Q: Were there gimmicks in the budget deal? A: The fact is, we’re going to spend $78 billion less this year than the President wanted to spend Q: What about the CBO number? A: That is NOT an accurate figure. I fought
"Obama's Increasing Federal Debt $1,148 Per Month Per Household—Enough to Buy a Car or Pay Tuition at State College"
Sorry. Not enough. Pay more or else is it demonstrably and undeniably true that you wish to kill off the old people, leave autistic children to fend for themselves (in the wild, presumably, where wolves live!), and are willing to trade the hopes and dreams of an America whose greatness is defined by the reach and tether of its benevolent bureaucracies for your own crass, materialist greed.. The President told
"Obama’s Tax Increase Trigger: Punishing Taxpayers with Automatic Tax Hikes When Politicians Overspend"
Well, now. I’m sure Senator McCain has a perfectly reasonable explanation for this, and would kindly like to remind you to leave Obama alone and shut your stinking pie hole, hater. Big Government: Responding to widespread criticism of his AWOL status on the budget fight, President Obama today unveiled a fiscal plan. It already is being criticized for its class warfare approach to tax policy, but the most disturbing feature
"McCain defends Obama from critics"
Of course he does: GOP Rep. Paul Ryan, who proposed the Republican budget plan and sat in the audience as President Obama attacked it, was quick to criticize the tone of the president’s speech Wednesday, calling him a “campaigner-in-chief.” Saying the “excessively partisan” speech seemed to “pour on the campaign rhetoric,” the Wisconsin Republican criticized Obama for failing to show leadership. “We’re looking for bipartisan solutions, not partisan rhetoric,” Ryan
"CBO: Budget deal cuts this fiscal year’s deficit by just $353 million, not $38 billion touted"
Somebody owes the silly fringe extremists an apology. Take your time. I’m not going anywhere.
Sleepy time…
…for Doltin’ Joe. And who can blame him, really? You’ve heard one Marxist sales pitch you’ve heard ’em all. Meanwhile, Paul Ryan? Not amused at the way Obama attempted to frame the Ryan budget plan. Sayeth Ryan: By failing seriously to confront the most predictable economic crisis in our nation’s history, the President’s policies are committing us and our children to a diminished future. We are looking for bipartisan solutions,
"Wait. Who's the Extremist?"
Harsanyi: Rep. Ed Markey, member of the large political party that never resorts to boorish demonizing, recently explained at a progressive shindig that fiscal conservatives have a desire to “destroy the whole wide world.” (Yikes!) And when you believe morality springs from the wisdom of technocrats and Washington spurs prosperity and taxpayers have an ethical obligation to pay for the abortions and highbrow radio networks of their more enlightened neighbors,
Obama's "Winning the Future through raising taxes on everyone and everything, but calling it something else, because tax hikes aren't particularly popular" campaign speech open thread

— and right on cue:
The GOP is set to raise the debt limit from levels just a year ago Eric Cantor was calling “beyond comprehension”: Last week, the Republican House leadership agreed to a deal with President Barack Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D.-Nev.) to spend $3.7555 trillion in this fiscal year–even though at the close of business Friday, as the deal was being struck, the Treasury reported that it could borrow
