Soooooooweeeeeeee!!

President Barack Obama will break a campaign pledge and sign a budget bill laden with millions in lawmakers' pet projects, administration officials said.

Administration budget chief Peter Orszag and White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel both downplayed the $410 billion spending bill and signaled Obama would hold his nose and sign it.

Orszag said: "We want to just move on. Let's get this bill done, get it into law and move forward. Said Emanuel: "That's last year's business."

I really don't think anyone is surprised by this. I would like to think Obama's supporters are disappointed, but I think most of them have drunk the Kool-Aid.

Raise your hand - who here thinks Rahm Emanuel is a smarmy, smug, supercillious bastard? Thought so.

Obama's top hands assigned responsibility to their predecessors and President George W. Bush.

Of course they will.

Blaming Bush-era proposals for deficits, Obama wanted to set up his own budget that would start Oct. 1, which he proposed last week with a bold goal of cutting the deficit by half within his four-year term.

"First, this is a $1.7 trillion deficit he inherited. Let's be clear about that. We inherited this deficit and we inherited $4 trillion of new debt," Emanuel said. "That is the facts."

What $4 trillion of new debt? Oh, do you mean the f***ing bailout that your boy there helped to push through?

Raise your hand - who here would gladly pay to have the chance to kick Rahm Emanuel's ass from one end of the block to the other? Thought so.

Officials faced a tough haul, even as Orszag and others said the proposal would raise taxes on wealthy Americans and increase energy costs. Emanuel said energy costs are too low, anyway.

Raise your hand . . .

BTW, is anyone surprised that sales of guns and copies of Atlas Shrugged are hot ticket items?
