President Obama is likely swimming in a pool of his own tears after seeing the shellacking his budget plan took in the Senate as it was voted down 1-98.
Yeah. That’s going to sting a little.
Of course, he’s probably already thrown himself to the floor in a toddler style temper tantrum and is plotting how he might go around Congress with an executive order to still get his way.
From TheBlaze:
The Senate on Tuesday destroyed any lingering hope President Barack Obama might have had for passing his budget plan through Congress this year, by voting down Obama’s plan 1-98.The only senator to vote for the plan was Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.).Obama’s budget plans have not fared well in Congress, and in fact Democrats have not even tried to present them each year when members consider various budget plans. That has forced Republicans to call up a version of Obama’s plan to get a sense of how much Congress supports Obama’s plan.In the last few years, Democrats have protested that these attempts are not real votes on Obama’s budget plans. But those arguments seemed mostly designed to allow Democrats to vote against it with Republicans and spare Obama from seeing his budget plans go down year after year.
For a plan to get mangled that badly, it must have been super horrible.
With that likely being the case, imagine how embarrassing it must be for Sen. Carper to be the only guy to support the plan. Whatever little credibility he might have possessed just went up in smoke. Pretty sure no one will ever take his opinion seriously again. On anything.
I can only imagine the massive waste contained in that nightmare. It’s enough to make you shudder.
