Yesterday at a Facebook town hall meeting, Barack Obama called the GOP budget ‘radical’ and ‘not courageous’. He stated, “I think it’s fair to say that their vision is radical. No, I don’t think it’s particularly courageous.”
It’s good to see the president take advice from Sen. Chuck Schumer who came up with the genius idea of labeling it ‘extreme’. The sad thing about this is, some people actually believe everything they hear.
As a backdrop on how this all started, here’s an excerpt from the Washington Examiner:
Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., a member of the Democratic Senate leadership, got on a conference call with reporters Tuesday morning without realizing the reporters were already listening in. Schumer thought he was on a private line with four Democratic senators who were to talk with reporters about the current budget stalemate.
Schumer instructed the group, made up of Sens. Barbara Boxer of California, Tom Carper of Delaware, Ben Cardin of Maryland and Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, to tell reporters that the GOP is refusing to negotiate.
He told the group to make sure they label the GOP spending cuts as “extreme.”
‘Radical’, ‘extreme’ it’s all the same thing… (h/t Breitbart.tv )
