Obama's Non Response to Ryan Budget Proposal
Another speech by the president, another blame game on the Republicans, going as far as to label Ryan's plan as "unAmerican." Despite the fact that the Democrats failed to produce their own budget last year when they had control of the Senate, House and White House, President Obama once again took the low road to blame the GOP for the Democrats failures in reigning in the deficit and over-spending.
He gave the obligatory "we'll find cuts in domestic non-security spending, defense, health costs, and tax reform" (soon to be unfulfilled) promises but mostly spent more of his time stressing what he would not agree to than describing a clear plan of his own. He was at times incoherent and sketchy and without much detail, per usual.
It is quite clear by now (if it wasn't already) that this man is an empty suit and will never take responsibility for his own actions and that of his party.
Like The Atlantic's Clive Crook said, Obama's speech was "more notable for its militant--though ineffectual--hostility to Republican proposals than for any fresh thinking of its own. It was a waste of breath."
A good and obvious point was made by a commenter on the ABC website,
"Tax the evil rich, punish those who succeed. It's Bush's fault. Republicans want to starve children and old people and kill women with their plan. Slightly different words but the same ideas over and over."
Charles Krauthammer also thought it was "shallow," hyper-partisan" and "intellectually dishonest."
Paul Ryan's response
He also wrote..
“When the President reached out to ask us to attend his speech, we were expecting an olive branch. Instead, his speech was excessively partisan, dramatically inaccurate, and hopelessly inadequate to address our fiscal crisis. What we heard today was not fiscal leadership from our commander-in-chief; we heard a political broadside from our campaigner-in-chief.
"Last year, in the absence of a serious budget, the President created a Fiscal Commission. He then ignored its recommendations and omitted any of its major proposals from his budget, and now he wants to delegate leadership to yet another commission to solve a problem he refuses to confront.
We need leadership, not a doubling down on the politics of the past. By failing to seriously confront the most predictable economic crisis in our history, this President’s policies are committing our children to a diminished future. We are looking for bipartisan solutions, not partisan rhetoric. When the President is ready to get serious about confronting this challenge, we'll be here."
So once again, Obama can't get things done so he blames his predecessor and the GOP. What the hell? The liberal media and left-wing pundits will spin and lie about this for him in an almost guaranteed attempt to secure his very easily indoctrinated moonbat base. They'll say things he didn't say and excuse what he did just like every other useless speech where he distorted the facts, outright lied and blew smoke up everybody's butt while his apologists deem him "brilliant, "smooth," "a healer" and "besieged" by the so-called incompetence of the Republicans without putting forth any new or substantial ideas of his own...again.
It must be tough being a narcissist learning on the job when all your yes men and woman keep telling you and the world how perfect you are, then reluctantly realizing how utter failures your policies are.
By the way, it appears not everyone was excited to hear this recycled speech.
