White House misses deadline for required spending cuts

White House misses deadline for required spending cuts. The Sequestration Transparency Act signed in August says the president had to hand them in yesterday, and he signed the law so he should know. Add this to missed deadlines for the last two presidential budgets. Gee, what is this guy doing with his time that prevents him from getting work done?

  • I wish someone would post a list of things this President HAS done to comply with the law and the Constitution in the past 3 1/2 years. Perhaps the Republicans in the House should begin a couple of Articles of Impeachment - beginning with the above fact as #1. No...wait...nevermind, John Boehner always leaves his nads in a tanning booth. No doubt Boehner's favorite Christmas Tune would have to be "My nuts roasting on an open fire...~"

  • Hey JP, didn't know where to put this but since where talking budgets

    http://nicedeb.wordpress.com/2012/09/07/dems-show-15-million-shortfall-after-convention-while-facing-cash-disadvantage/

    a) good news, they suck with their own money too.
    b)FTA "Democrats ended their convention in Charlotte $5 million short of their budget even after being forced to draw down a $10 million line of credit from Duke Energy Corp. (DUK), according to a Democratic Party fundraiser."

    They BORROW 10 mil from Duke for a year? Obviously legal (I guess) but this reeks. For EITHER party to be able to do something like this.

    • Oh great, my electric bill is going up once the Dems default on that loan! Just freaking great!

      Oh and JP dear, you need to post your latest moment of common sense on JPAttitude.com, that's JPAttitude.com. Don't miss it folks!

    • And let's remember that Obama is taking advantage of his position to get the government to pay for much of his campaign expenditures, so to be running out of money already shows how incompetent they are.

      Every time Obama goes somewhere to give a campaign speech, he makes sure to work in an "official" appearance so the government pays for Air Force One and all the security and whatever. What a jerk. Who's he kidding? He's been campaigning for a year already.

  • Now don't be too hard on ol' O, As the Carnival barker said, he's got a lot on his plate. Beside, any talk from him or the other Stalinists in the dem party of cutting government spending is just electioneering BS. No one really expects him or them to really do this, no matter what they say or sign.

  • "...he signed the law, so he should know." Well, he also signed the Obamacare leviathan, but I doubt if he could pass a pop quiz on what's in that. (I doubt if anyone could pass a pop quiz on the contents of the Obamacare bill, which is one of the strongest reasons to repeal it in its entirety.)

  • "Dear Leader" can't do his job, he's much too busy flying around on the taxpayer's dime and lying to everyone who's stupid enough to listen, how great he is.

  • I expect he did hand in his spending cuts. It was a blank piece of paper. I guess he could have taken time out from campaigning and asskissing with Hollywood to tell one of the myriad of flunky's that infest the administration to take a minute out from fund raising and write "SPending Cuts" on the blank piece of paper.

  • Well, ya know, between all that vacationing, golfing and campaigning, he just hasn't got time for all that doing his job stuff.

    • Think about how much damage he could have done to our country if he had been "doing his job". That thought scares the crap out of me.
