"is a plan that achieves serious deficit reduction only by asking for sacrifice from the middle class, seniors, the disabled and the poor, and while providing substantial tax cuts to the very well off." Please... Obama created the vast majority of the debt, in record time, and is now trying to figure out how to cover his a$$.

The fact that Mr. Obama is finally getting religion on the Federal debt problem is a gross improvement over where he was two weeks ago. I can hardly wait until he delivers the tablets fomr on high.

"If the president begins the discussion by saying we must increase taxes on the American people -- as his budget does -- my response will be clear: Tax increases are unacceptable and a nonstarter," said House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. "We don't have deficits because Americans are taxed too much" ------- Sigh. Clueless.

This isn't Obama's "turn", its his mulligan. He failed on his first, zero hearted effort... a disgusting stupid, tone deaf budget... ok this attempt he'll prove equally unserious.

Time for the second Act! Cut entitlements for big Oil, cut military, cut the tax cuts,cut health care and pensions for republicans oh I mean politicians,cut the tax cuts for corporations,come on people we can find more because they've already cut about as much as they can from the people that are just trying to survive.

Last year, Barack Obama and the Democrats increased taxes by $1 Trillion. And now they're calling for more taxes? Seriously? Try again.

The only thing I can figure is, that NONE of the Democrats want to be reelected in 2012. We say, smaller Govt., reduced Taxes, cut Spending. They want to increase Taxes, increase Spending (and Debt) and increase the size and scope of the Government. I just don't know what it's going to take to get our Government back to working for the working class. Democrats are completely out of touch.

the dems continue their tax him not me argument. to get this budget under control everyone will have some pain! too many issues have been ignored for too long.

obama's budget just like dayton's budget will be DOA!

Whatever Obama's teleprompter tells him to say, will be easier said than done! He may say he is changing, but so far he has not, what has changed in 1 week from this last joke of budget dealings? Even the media is having a hard time candy coating and ignoring descrepincies for their base.
