Obama: I will go through the budget line by line
Do you recall when Obama said he would go through the budget line by line and cut wasteful programs? Do we call this a failed promise?
On the one hand, perhaps he could not keep this promise because his Democrat Senate has never produced the budget they are required by law to produce. Not one single budget in the entire Obama presidency has ever emerged from the Democrat Senate.
On the other hand, what kind of President cannot show even enough leadership to get the Senate well-controlled by his own party to produce a budget as required by law. Recall that the President is supposed to execute the laws, which among other things means he should surely be putting unrelenting pressure on the Senate to produce a budget. Besides, he should be eager to keep his promise to go through that budget line by line to eliminate wasteful spending. But not this man. He is more a celebrity than a leader.
