a good time will, no doubt, be had by all ;)

1. Why?? What's the emergency?

[Clio the Leo]

2. He lost the news cycle.

It will be about the budget.

5. He was never going to win it.

8. Correct.

He wouldn't be calling this presser if the narrative was headed in the right direction. No biggie. I expect he'll smack another home run and we'll be in the lead again by sundown.

10. Yes, it's good news IMO....

.... I think the admin too often tries to poo poo the news cycle and they have a bit of a point except that if they poo poo ALL Of them, well, you could end up losing a mid term election. ;)

ANY time Barack Obama is speaking it's a good thing, glad to see them trying to get in front of this.

3. His BFFs aren't buyin' it.

9. BFFs?

Creepy post.

4. I hope somebody asks him where the pain is for the rich

love to see him wiggle around that.

6. Your post is evidence that you know absolutely nothing about this proposed budget.

7. "Obama budget resurrects rejected tax increases"

But then again, you're right, Barack Obama doesn't want "pain" for any American. Just wants the rich to pay their fare share. Kind of an odd request IMO.
