Obama Budget ‘Lurching To The Left’

Will Democrats Support Obama’s ‘Untethered,’ ‘Almost Fictional Document’?

Obama Budget ‘Lurching To The Left’ In ‘Strange, Almost Fictional Document’

“…the president's annual budget is a strange, almost fictional document.” (“Obama's Wish-List Gambit,” Los Angeles Times, 2/4/15)

“As he prepares to deliver his budget on Monday, President Barack Obama is lurching to the left.” (“Obama Veers Left,” Politico, 1/30/15)

·         “Budget 2016: Obama moves left…” (“Budget 2016: Obama Moves Left…” The Christian Science Monitor, 2/2/15)

·         “Obama Veers Left … It’s a progressive’s dream version of Obama, untethered from earlier centrist leanings…” (“Obama Veers Left,” Politico, 1/30/15)

·         “…Mr. Obama is moving his demands to the left…” (“Obama Says He Won't Accept Budget That Doesn't Raise Spending,” The Washington Times, 2/3/15)

“…Mr. Obama is returning to his roots and pushing a plan to expand government, hike taxes and increase spending.” (“Obama Budgets Push For Big Government…” The Washington Times, 2/2/15)

·         “…pledging fresh tax hikes” (“Obama Veers Left,” Politico, 1/30/15)

·         “Remember those budget caps put in place in 2011? Obama wants to blast right through them.” (“Obama Veers Left,” Politico, 1/30/15)

Previous Obama Budgets ‘Overwhelming[ly]’ Rejected

2011: President’s Budget ‘Unanimously’ Rejected ‘No Democratic Senator … Willing To Support’

In the Senate, President Obama’s FY’2012 Budget was rejected 0-97. (S.Con.Res.18, Roll Call Vote #78, Motion To Proceed Rejected 0-97: R 0-45; D 0-50; I 0-2, 5/25/11)

·         “The Senate voted unanimously on Wednesday to reject a $3.7 trillion budget plan that President Obama sent to Capitol Hill in February. Ninety-seven senators voted against a motion to take it up. … No Democratic senator was willing to support it…” (“President's Budget Sinks, 97-0,” The Hill, 5/25/11)

·         “…doomed to defeat… not a single senator voted for it.” (The Washington Post, 5/26/11)

·         BRET BAIER: “Just moments ago, the Senate had another vote. President Obama's budget fell 97-0. … It did not pass. 97-0. No one voting to take up the president's budget.” (Fox News’ ‘Special Report,’ 5/25/11)

‘Obama’s Budget … A Remarkably Weak And Timid Document’

DANA MILBANK: “Obama's budget proposal is a remarkably weak and timid document. He proposes to cut only $1.1 trillion from federal deficits over the next decade - a pittance when you consider that the deficit this year alone is in the neighborhood of $1.5 trillion. The president makes no serious attempt at cutting entitlement programs that threaten to drive the government into insolvency.” (“In His New Budget, Obama Kicks The Can One More Time,” The Washington Post, 2/15/11)

2012: Senate Offers ‘Unanimous’ ‘Sweeping Rejection’ Of President’s Budget, House ‘Clobbers’ In A ‘Rout’

‘Not a single member of Congress voted for the plan this year’ “Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions decided to offer a Democratic budget of his own: Obama’s fiscal 2013 blueprint. It was unanimously rejected, meaning not a single member of Congress voted for the plan this year. In late March, Obama’s budget was rejected on a 0-414 roll call in the House…” (“Senate Games: Every Budget Goes Down,” Politico, 5/16/12)

In the Senate, President Obama’s FY’2013 Budget was rejected 0-99. (S.Con.Res.41, Roll Call Vote #97, Motion To Proceed Rejected 0-99: R 0-46; D 0-51; I 0-2, 5/16/12)

·         “…sweeping rejection of Obama's budget…” (“Senate Democrats Reject House GOP Budget Plan,” AP, 5/16/12)

·         “A budget resolution based on President Obama’s 2013 budget failed to get any votes in the Senate on Wednesday. In a 99-0 vote, all of the senators present rejected the president’s blueprint.” (“Senate Rejects Obama Budget In 99-0 Vote,” The Hill, 5/16/12)

In the House, President Obama’s FY’2013 Budget was rejected 0-414. (H.Con.Res.112, Roll Call Vote #143, Amendment Rejected 0-414: R 0-239; D 0-175, 3/28/12)

·         “The House on Wednesday night unanimously rejected an alternative budget proposal based on President Obama's 2013 budget plan, dispatching it in a 0-414 rout.” (“0-414 Vote: House Clobbers Budget Proposal Based On Obama's 2013 Plan,” The Hill, 3/29/12)

2013: President’s Budget ‘A Dud,’ ‘United Washington. In Opposition’

“…the non-binding blueprint already has done something that the president himself has only rarely accomplished since taking office: It’s basically united Washington. In opposition. … Both sides agree the budget does not balance over its 10-year horizon.” (“Obama Budget Dead On Arrival—But May Get Second Life,” Yahoo! News, 4/10/13)

·         “The budget will also lay out more details of Obama's wish list for new spending…” (“On Left And Right, Obama's Budget Anticipated As A Dud,” USA Today, 4/10/13)

·         “The Obama budget also relies… on raising taxes…” (“On Left And Right, Obama's Budget Anticipated As A Dud,” USA Today, 4/10/13)

2014: In ‘Devastating’ Defeat, House ‘Overwhelming’ Rejected Obama’s Budget

“The House on Wednesday handily rejected a GOP budget alternative based on President Obama's 2015 spending blueprint.” (“House Kills Obama Budget 2-413,” The Hill, 4/9/14)

In the House, Obama’s FY’2014 Budget was rejected 2-413. (H.Amdt.612 to H.Con.Res.96, Roll Call Vote #171, Rejected 413-2: R 0-224; D 2-189, 4/9/14)

·         “…sending Mr. Obama’s plan to a devastating 413-2 defeat.” (“Obama Budget Defeated 413-2; Plans Are Unpopular On Both Sides,” Washington Times, 4/9/14)

·         “…following a pattern seen in recent years in House votes to overwhelmingly reject Obama's budget proposals.” (“House Kills Obama Budget 2-413,” The Hill, 4/9/14)

·         “Most of his tax and spending proposals are unlikely to gain traction on Capitol Hill, and even Democrats rejected the president’s call for higher discretionary spending” (“Obama Budget Defeated 413-2; Plans Are Unpopular On Both Sides,” Washington Times, 4/9/14)
