Obama Denounces 'Radical' Republican Budget, As Democrats Refuse to Produce One
Made popular 412 days ago in Politics
cnsnews.com — WASHINGTON (AP) - In an election-year pitch to middle-class voters, President Barack Obama is denouncing a House Republican budget plan as a "Trojan horse," warning that it represents "an attempt to impose a radical vision on our country" that would hurt the pocketbooks of working families.

Obama, in a speech to newspaper executives, is sharply criticizing a $3.5 trillion budget proposal pushed by Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., which passed on a near-party-line vote last week and has been embraced by GOP presidential hopefuls.

The plan has faced fierce resistance from Democrats, who say it would gut Medicare, slash taxes for the wealthy and lead to deep cuts to crucial programs such as aid to college students and highway and rail projects.

"It's a Trojan horse. Disguised as deficit reduction plan, it's really an attempt to impose a radical vision on our country," Obama said in excerpts of his speech released Tuesday. "It's nothing but thinly veiled social Darwinism."

Do you think the electorate is stupid enough to buy this propaganda when they have to be aware that Harry Reid and the democRAT majority in the Senate have not bothered to present a budget in over three years?
Yes, they are that stupid, they elected Obama didn't they?

No, nobody could be as stupid as Obama tries to make them out to be?

Probably, Lincoln did say that you can fool some of the people all of the day.

Obama could not begin to present a budget like Paul Ryan's, let alone understand it. Obama is a wanna be dictator, not a President.
