SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE JOHN BOEHNER (R-OH): Where’s the president’s plan? When is he going to lay his cards on the table?
Senator Marco Rubio understood this when he utterly destroyed Bob Schieffer on CBS’ “Face The Nation” program after Schieffer – in his masquerade as a “neutral reporter” cited the Obama talking point as the “objective” view:
“OK, so where’s the plan? Where’s the president’s plan? I’ve never seen a piece of paper with the president’s name on it that’s his plan to solve this crisis. I’ve seen press conferences. I’ve seen lectures that he’s given to the Congress. I’ve seen these press avails where the camera comes in and takes a bunch of pictures. I haven’t seen a plan. Where is the president’s plan?“
And President Obama’s failure to lead is undermining negotiations. From ABC’s “This Week”:
MS. AMANPOUR: You also heard what Jack Lew said if there was part of a big deal, it would involve entitlements —
SEN. KYL: But we have no idea what he’s talking about. That’s the problem. Republicans are not willing to make a deal based upon some vague commitment that, sometime in the future, the president might be willing to look at something that he won’t identify.
Let’s take a look at what happened the last time Obama had a specific budget plan:
Late last week, the Senate structured four votes on motions to proceed to the budget plans of President Obama , Rep. Ryan, Senators Pat Toomey (R.-Pa.) and Rand Paul (R.-Ky.) The vote on President Obama’s budget was a humiliating 0-97. The President lacks any support for his $3.7 trillion plan for next year, which would create $8.7 trillion in new spending, $1.6 trillion in new taxes and add $13 trillion in new debt over the next 10 years.
It was shot down 97-0 in the Senate, with not one single Senator – one single DEMOCRAT – willing to sign on to this incredibly laughable and even more incredibly destructive plan.
The Republicans passed a budget (the Ryan Plan). That is the first budget that had seen the light of day since 2009. Because the Democrats never bothered to pass a budget for fiscal year 2011 as was their duty in spite of the fact that they had total control of the White House, the House of Representatives and the Senate. Well, other than the asinine piece of crap that Obama tried to foist on America between his golf rounds that got blasted down 97-0.
Most Americans may well think that Obama is leading and has a plan simply because the mainstream media is so pathologically dishonest that Joseph Goebbels is looking up from “Minister of Propaganda hell” and smiling. But the simple fact of the matter is that Barack Obama has nothing but Marxist class warfare and about a gazillion tons of demagoguery to go with ZERO-POINT-ZERO-ZERO LEADERSHIP.
