Comments about ‘The fight begins: Obama's budget going to Congress’

I listened to this interview and was not impressed with anything Mr. Lew talked about. They discussed the abortion issue and even though that isn't his strong area, he is political and avoided any real substance on the issue. Money wise, this budget, after 3 years of attempting to get a budget approved, probably won't be approved because Congress and the President haven't agreed to anything in 3 years except extending the money lines. We have gone from 9 trillion to 16 trillion with no real budget. The President will keep on spending and approving more for agencies just like how we say that Wall Street, the Banks, and the Big Corporations did that caused the financial problems for the economy. We have spent a lot of money on defense in those years but we have also spent a lot on other non-necessary items and are looking forward, I am sure to the Obamacare promises that we keep on finding out about. Pass and then read it philosphy of the astute Congress Representatives and Senators. I can't believe the President of the United States would ever cause our elected Representatives and Senators to pass an extremely costly bill as that without more though and deliberation. They are selling us down the river and we can't afford becoming like European countries. Even the Greek bailout will cost more than the Europeans have. Then there is Spain, etc. Who is going to bail us out? Do we pick up bondage as the price for giving up our freedoms that our Founding Fathers established and we failed them by not living up to those principles? To have a President that is a Constitutional lawyer and professor and uses what he knows to get around loopholes is not the Hope and Change that people who didn't vote for him wanted. Where is the Integrity that we need in a President and Congress? The Supreme Court has a hard time dealing with that issue, also, on significant issues. We need to be involved in our future and not sit back. The budgetary process is important. We cannot keep on extending the previous budget from 2009 ad infinitum.

One thing I didn't mention. With the budget out there, which the President will blame Congress and especially the Republicans for not doing their job.

The other aspect is, he will have all and everyway to use the talk to defend the budget and every agency that receives funding will be fair game for non-paid for political advertising. He doesn't need a primary where the other candidates tear him apart. He can defend his budget and everything else with non-paid political advertising and make trips all around the country, non-paid by the DNC but by us. We are helping his hope and change campaign. He will probably have a different name but the same type of approach to have people in stadiums outpouring their support for his cause in his interpretation of the Constitution of the United States of America.
