CNN - Have they done any reporting on the 'Puke budget?

The web page has an article that at best could be described as balanced, have they had any detailed analysis of what the Repubs delivered or is Mexico the story of the day not that Obama smacked down all of their recent slams.

1. They haven't released any details yet! Boehner said they would

do that next Wed. The only #'s in today's budget was that they want to reduce the top income tax rate from 39% down to 26%.

You know...tax cuts fix everything & anything!

A reporter guest on Rachel's show was talking about it. Said the reporters in the room were pissed at Bohner because he kept telling them he'd have the budget today and all it was was BS!

4. I knew that part

Seeing the Geithner didn't provide enough details was a lead story almost nightly I was just wondering if they were providing the same amount of scrutiny.

Compare the two:

Geithner has to research and write up a plan from scratch to create a solution for a problem that is unprecedented.

"Pukes" need to copy last years budget, factor in the tax cuts, then slash to their hearts content.

5. The difference is that Tim didn't SAY he would have a detailed plan on "Thursday". but the Pubs DID!

Yes, WS ans the reporters were pissed pecause they're always pissed. You could had them the book on how to complete your 1040, and they'd gtipe because there were still unanswered questions!

I heard all the reporters were pissed becasue they viwed today as a waste of their time, and I suspect they're not going to be too happy next Wed. either. The Pubs are losing this battle. Just sit back and laugh at them squirming.

2. No one took the Repukes seriously. At least it shut the "Conservadems" up.
