UPDATEx2: Carney Full of Blarney

Apparently, Mr. Carney says that leadership doesn’t need to propose a plan.

Okay, so why is the White House waiting around for Congress then? They didn’t pass a budget for, what, two years now?? Is that leadership? I say, no. POTUS hasn’t offered a plan despite all his television appearances. Is that planning? If so, exactly what is he planning, hhhmmm?

There have been plans come from members of Congres in the recent budget/debt talks, sounds like some measure of leadership there, right?

I’ll let Jim Geraghty of NRO fill you in on the dialogue between Carney to Jake Tapper’s question.

It’s a doozy, and indicates Carney needs to go back to a school that teaches common sense.

UPDATE: Carney admits the WH has no plan. And then defends that position.
This would be funny if it wasn’t coming from federal officials. Yup. I’m not laughing.

UPDATEx2: Carney does it again when asked where is the President’s plan. I’d call this a circus, but how can it be when it is just one man giving these inane responses?

CBO Says POTUS Plan Increases Debt

So says CNSNews:

… the only budget proposal President Obama’s has publicly revealed in 2011 would, according to the Congressional Budget Office, increase the deficit by $26 billion this year, $83 billion next year, and $2.7 trillion over the next decade.

In short, the only budget proposal Obama has put forward this year for the public to review and analyze puts the federal government on a path to eventual bankruptcy.

Marco Rubio Tells It Like It Is

A fine speaker with a solid grasp of reality.

Where’s the President’s Plan?”

Our Own Governor O’Malley

I really wish he hadn’t done that. But I guess he doesn’t care since he can’t run for Governor after his current term ends.

So be it.

You know, Martin, in 2006 all the Democrate US Senators voted against upping the debt ceiling. Were they trying to undermine the Presidency then, too?

UPDATE: Faster And More Furious

There is now evidence that the Obama Administration was looking for anecdotal cases to support their regulations on long gun multiple sales.

=================================
House Committee Passes Amendment to Defund Illegal Obama Firearm Sales Reporting Requirement.
The Amendment was passed by a vote of 25-16.
The Rehberg Amendment, which was strongly supported by NRA, will defund the Justice Department’s controversial and illegal move requiring federally licensed firearms retailers in states bordering Mexico to report multiple sales of semi-automatic rifles.
Yesterday – Obama Administration Approves Illegal Multiple Sales Reporting Requirement

While the Rehberg Amendment is a critically important first step, it is imperative that you contact your U.S. Senators and ask them to cosponsor and support S. 570. You can find contact information for your elected officials by using the “Write Your Representatives” tool at www.NRAILA.org, or you can call your U.S. senators at (202) 224-3121. S. 570 currently has 29 cosponsors. To see if your senators are cosponsors, please click here.

Huffin And Puffin Then Leavin The Debt Talks

Judge for yourselves. Apparently, the debt talks haven’t gone too well today.

“Eric, don’t call my bluff,” the president said, warning Cantor that he would take his case “to the American people.” He told Cantor that no other president — not Ronald Reagan, the president said — would put up with the treatment he was getting from the House majority leader.

Democratic sources dispute Cantor’s version of Obama’s walk out, but all sides agree that the two had a blow up. The sources described Obama as “impassioned” but said he didn’t exactly storm out of the room.

But then, here’s the scoop on just how, exactly, the Treasury has to operate should the debt ceiling NOT be raised.

Yeah. Pass that around.

Voter ID in Rhode Island

As Gomer Pyle used to say, “Surprise, surprise, surprise!”

And what’s more, the perfect case for voter ID was put forth by this RI news article.

In a representative democracy, voting is sacred. It is how citizens can help change their government peacefully when they think it ceases to serve their interests and values. When the vote is corrupted by fraud, the legitimacy of the entire system is undermined.

That’s why Rhode Island should require that voters produce a photo ID at the polls.

“Voting should be at least as secure as renting a car, getting a library card or any of the other tasks that routinely require an ID,” said Secretary of State Ralph Mollis.

It would be nice, and proper, if more states would do the same (cough).

Don Surber has some more on this (h/t to you, Don). Be sure to read through the comments as well.

Even Cheap Is Too Expensive

Dollar stores are struggling.

A quote within the article:

“In other words, the economy is continuing to be worse, the Obama depression continues to explode,” he added.

Still think the economy is not tanking? Hhhmm, 1600?
