“At a time when you are struggling to pay your bills and meet your responsibilities, the least we can do to meet our responsibilities is produce a budget. That is not too much to ask for. That is what the American people expect of us, that’s what they deserve. You want everybody to act like adults, quit playing games and realize it is not my way or the highway,” President Obama, April 6, 2011.

Given that the Democratic House and Democratic Senate and President failed to produce a 2011 budget at any time between January 1, 2010 and January 2011 – when the Federal Fiscal Year begins October 1 – the President has a lot of nerve to say “produce a budget.”  Where was the President in August 2010?  September 2010?  October 2010?  November 2010?  December 2010?  Where were the calls then to “produce a budget”?   I guess the President, House, and Senate preferred to play political games between July 2010 and January 2011, when the Republicans took control of the House.

Plenty of people have short attention spans, but one would expect the President to remember the facts.

After the President’s statement that “I won” on January 23, 2009, the President states today that they have to “realize it is not my way or the highway.”  Yet another about face.  Does he expect that to be forgotten too?
