Portland — Obama and his people are depending on American's inattention and assumes we are ignorant to the processes of government.
Subject: Obama lies about the federal budget and the process
It seems there is no end to misrepresentation of the process by the Obama administration.
In the article below Mr. Peter Orszag, director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, states that the White House had little choice but to support the $410 billion omnibus spending bill, which it inherited from the previous administration; a blatant lie.

The bill contains thousands of earmarks from our body of legislators.
President Bush did indeed submit a budget last year, but Congress is responsible for the final draft - it accepts or rejects items, adds or subtracts at will.
THE CONGRESS THAT SUBMITTED THIS BUDGET IS DEMOCRAT CONTROLLED and has been for the last two years.
The Obama administration has unfortunately chosen to continue the blame Bush first mentality. There is no reason they cannot cut out the pork.
Below is a link which explains the budget process:

The Obama administration owns the budget. The distortion is insulting.

Blah, Blah, Blah.. You should look at what legislators put what earmarks into the budget, instead of using editorials as factual statements. The process which you wish to announce is the problem and conservatives designed most of it. Remember your 'regulations are hurting the economy' speech; funny isn't it.
