    OOPS!!!!

    But, it was still funny... You should clarify next time, but it still applies though doesn't it unless you have something to provide with that accusation...?

    Why is it a lie or blatantly wrong? What do you have as evidence to make that assessment?

    As former head of OMB and now Chief of Staff if he is so ignorant of the budget process he should be fired. I doubt he is but he is betting you are.

    Because of problems dealing with our frozen budget... What do you get weekly dealing with the Budget that you can show us that you have an understanding of what's going on OUTSIDE of media propaganda?

    Anything?

    No..

    Then as I stated, I have more authority over the subject than you do...


    Do you think that this is something that is "NEW" in the White House?

    Proving you know even less about the budget process and what it is. They haven't passed one for political reasons and won't do so now for political reasons.

    Okay - I will take the opposing stance.

    Lying about the Republicans means nothing. They have not responded because they know when they DO go to the floor not a single one will share their ball with any Democrat...

    perhaps he made a mistake. I think firing him seems a bit harsh. We had guys claiming WMD in iraq were a slam dunk who didnt get fired....

    Obama lied about ObamaCare.

    So it should not surprise anyone that he would lie about the budget too.

    That was a planned talking point. Not an off the chuff remark. He stated it several times on Sunday. They think you are too stupid to know they weren't telling the truth.

    No, budgets are either submitted or they aren't. I haven't heard such a intellectually bankrupt an argument in sometime. It hasn't been a matter of "wording" for over three years. You are showing a totally lock of knowledge of what has been going on with the budget for the last three years.

    I have a lack of knowledge? I usually delete them, but I did find one of my emails (since I work for the Gov't) that shows I have an outstanding knowledge of what's going on - since I get reports of what's actually going on via Gov't Email...

    You get propaganda! It's wording... It's how they are going to divide, how they are going to reduce which program... what percentage of what... childish bickering...

    That is clearly what you have demonstrated as in the House passes a budget first and sends it to the Senate.

    And the fact remains the White is lying about the necessary votes for the Senate to pass it's budget resolution and it's the Republican's fault they haven't.

    Your claim it was because they couldn't get the wording right for three years is absurd ignorance of recent events.

    I never stated that...

    The WH is not lying, a man is...

    Unless you can provide Gov't documentation that says otherwise, I'll believe what I get in my emails...

    I found an email, but I doubt I can send it to you... It breaks things down and shows what in the budget and what's not... Has monies... A lot of stuff, only dealing with the Department of Interior though..

    If I have time I'll try to see if I can delete the stuff that is sensitive... :)
