no ;perhaps he's been dealing constantly with the President's manufactured crisis' of the week. Like I said . The Dems have passed a budget for the fiscal year (which you know does not begin in January ) . It's the Senate's turn.

Should read the Repubics have passed a budget for the fiscal year (which you know does not begin in January )

You answering your own posts now Tom?

Naw he made a correction but this congress has passed nothing for the sequester, or CR due March 23rd. What part of any bill the last congress passed is null and void is it you don't understand?

Geez dude, give it a rest.

P.S. WaPo let the cat out of the bag anyway, we already know Obama has already quit governing to focus on campaigning (already) for 2014 so it doesn't matter what the GOP does, your guy has no intention of doing anything.

"The goal is to flip the Republican-held House back to Democratic control, allowing Obama to push forward with a progressive agenda on gun control, immigration, climate change and the economy during his final two years in office, according to congressional Democrats, strategists and others familiar with Obama's thinking," reports the Post, which is hardly hostile to the President.

Ok, this is how unserious our president is. Due to the sequester he's canceling White House tours.

The White House announced Tuesday that it was canceling all public tours of the president’s home because of the sequester spending cuts.

“Due to staffing reductions resulting from sequestration, we regret to inform you that White House Tours will be canceled effective Saturday, March 9, 2013 until further notice. Unfortunately, we will not be able to reschedule affected tours,” the White House said in an email

And you thought Bush was a dufus? This guy is positively juvenile in his approach to governing. I'm with Jim Geraghty, furlough the WH chefs and let 'em eat baloney sandwiches instead.

Yet we don't see OweBama cutting back on white house travel... because he's the messiah... Sequester cuts are only for the lowly help...

Yeh if BO was serious he would cut his own salary for the duration of the sequester, then as a monkey he would be working for peanuts

What you mean to say is that the House passed a budget for 2013 ,and the Senate DEMS were negligent in their duty. Now AGAIN the House will do their duty before the end of the month and Paul Ryan will unveil his plan for the 2014 budget . Senate Budget Chair Patty Murray will put out her proposal by the end of March too. But unlike the House ,the Senate proposal will sit on Harry Reid' shelf. The do-nothing Dem Senate will be content... or at least they would've in the past .
But now there is a new twist .You see ,this year it's no ticky no washy .Thanks to the No Budget, No Pay Act, the House and Senate are each obligated to pass their own budget resolution by April 15 or they don't get their pay. If EITHER house fails to pass a budget then their pay is withheld .
Of course there is no deadline on a reconciliation ,but at least the Senate Dems will be on record of having no plan except tax increases.

But before all this is the CR deadline March 27.I still say let the government shutdown ,or pass a CR that defunds Obamacare .

Since the child who would be king decided to cancel White House tours instead of USDA wine tastings, Eric Bolling of Fox News offered to pay for a week of tours out of his own pocket:

In a Facebook post on Thursday, anchor Eric Bolling announced that he will offer to personally pay the costs to keep the tours at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue open for a week.

During Thursday evening’s episode of “The Five,” Bolling elaborated. “I will absolutely write the check if they open the doors next week.”

“I’ll make you a deal Mr. President…Let these families take their White House tours next week and I’ll cover the added expenses. Word is it will cost around $74,000.”

Referencing White House press secretary Jay Carney, the Fox host added: “Mr Carney, you know this an offer you can’t refuse. Give me a call.”

Hannity offered to pay for a week also. .

[excon]

Hello again, Steve:

Yeah, That would be EXACTLY what Obama should do.

Let me ask you this. Are you posting because you actually believe that Obama SHOULD take their offer, or are you interested in ramping up more FOX News hate?

Never mind.

excon

PS> By the way, Hannity also said that he'd let himself be waterboarded, and that was a lie. So, we KNOW where he stands on stuff.

PPS> (edited) Additionally, if you're trying to impress me quotes from Tucker Carlson's website, you're FAILING badly. He's a worse LIAR than Hannity.

[speechlesstx]

You keep calling Carlson a liar but haven't backed it up yet. As for the other guys, I just think it's funny as hell watching Obama get gigged for his stupid, pathetic, juvenile sequester games... no matter who does it. You know he's losing this PR battle don't you?

No.. I outgrew that in my mid 20's. After I learned the world is not the way the newpapers and TV tries to portray it. Been a conservative ever since.


I'm still waiting to win the lottery so I can go to a real good steak house and get one of those dry aged Delmonico steaks... its not cheap.. in fact they are damned expensive.

Until then I have to be happy with what I buy in the store and grill myself.

This piece begs the question, should the President be sequestered?

First Couple's Sequester Sacrifice: Date Nights - Forbes

[tomder55]

He should've considered the image and the expense of him going to Manhattan on a date night ;or the 1st couple travelling separately to Hawaii vacations ,or the many flights he has taken for no other purpose than to have a backdrop for a policy (campaign )speech .But he is a celebrity living large on other people's money .
When Bush needed time out he would take the short trip to Camp David where there wasn't the need for the same level of Secret Service protection. When he vacationed ;he went to his own home cleared brush and rode bicycles. And that was a time when the economy was doing well.
Yes they should publish the cost of every junket the President takes until a budget deal is reached .

So much for the WHite House have a descretionary cut to have to deal with...

Adele And Beyonce To Sing At Michelle Obama's Birthday Party|Fox Kansas | KSAS-TV | Wichita News, Weather & Sports | FOX Programming

There is money to throw Mrs. Wide-load a party.. but not to have White house tours... but they do to have a big party and all the security that goes with it.

Goes to show the hypocrisy in this administration. Heaven forbid the Mr. and Mrs. God cut back a bit on anything at all.
