via House, Senate Pass Obama’s Budget.
WASHINGTON — Acting in quick succession, the House and Senate approved budgets Thursday night drawn to President Barack Obama’s specifications and pointing the way toward major legislation later this year on health care, energy and education.
“It’s going to take a lot of work to clean up the mess we inherited, and passing this budget is a critical step in the right direction,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said. “Staying true to these priorities will help turn around the economy for the many Americans who are underwater right now.”
Since Obama has been in office for about 70 days now, he has passed every major bill that he has wanted even though the Republican minority has stood against his efforts at bipartisanship, often with 100% participation in the obstinance.
Obama has gotten all the money he asked for for the remainder of the TARP plan. He has gotten most everything he asked for the Recovery Act, some $750 billion, and now congress has passed his $1.2 trillion budget even though the opposition offered their own plan late in the game and with little fanfare.
Everyone has concluded that the Republicans are out of ideas and out of touch with average Americans.
