    Must be one of those 'grey' areas. :ghoti:

    It only takes a simple majority to pass a budget. It is filibuster-proof in the Senate.

    This is an obvious lie by Obama's Chief of Staff. How do you spin this one, other than Obama's CoS sees all voters as idiots who will believe anything?

    “the chief of staff was clearly referencing the general gridlock in Congress that makes accomplishing even the most basic tasks nearly impossible given the Senate Republicans’ insistence on blocking an up or down vote on nearly every issue.”

    Indisputable fact.

    You can childishly attempt to make a big deal over an incorrect number in his sentence, but you can't change the reality that the repubs have ground our country's advancement to a halt simply by refusing to earn their tax paid salary.

    Anybody can vote no all the time. It doesn't take skill, training or education.

    We could replace them all with monkeys.

    From the article:

    So, try again, MARIS. The typical Dem voter may be an idiot who can't read, but that isn't going to fly here.

    Let's take stock here:

    Senate budget rules to pass ObamaCare by reconciliation - done and done

    Senate budget rules to pass an actual budget - don't have the votes from Dems; lie about it to the public.

    Hell of an administration we have here. It's all smoke and mirrors with these fools.

    Yep, Jack Lew is an idiot. The Democratic senate doesn't even want to vote on Obama's budget.
