Unanimous rejection By POLITICO STAFF | 05/26/11 5:22 AM Updated: 05/26/11 12:13 PM Close The budget proposal released by the White House back in February didn’t win a single vote in the Senate on Wednesday— the final tally was 0-97. Senate Republicans pushed for the vote as a counterpoint to the defeat of Rep. Paul Ryan’s budget plan. POLITICO’s David Rogers reports: “The vote on the president’s plan turned into a rout, with neither Republicans nor Democrats voting in favor of taking it up. At one level, the 97-0 vote showed how out-of-date the February requests can seem after so much has changed in the spending debate already this year. But for Democrats, it also proved a convenient way to mask their substantial internal differences over how to proceed” on addressing the government’s fiscal problems.

hObama's economic policy has a perfect 100%, disapproval rating.
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
Yep, but what have you heard in the dinosaur media? Nothing about this. All they can talk about is Paul Ryan's budget.
