The vote on a Potemkin "Obama Budget" is not intended to be taken seriously. It's a stunt designed to get a slag into the news cycle, and they tend to work. What happens is a Republican legislator presents a "budget proposal" that's designed to be a satirical presentation of an "Obama budget," and Democrats don't vote for it, because they recognize that it bears no resemblance to their budgetary preferences. This is all stuff that should be pretty easy for adults to penetrate and demystify. But how many times are we going to hear about the "Obama budget's" ignominious defeat in the Senate on this weekend's Sunday talk shows? I'm going to guess: "many times." <p>Read more: <a href="/tag/eat-the-press">Eat the Press</a>, <a href="/tag/jeff-sessions-budget">Jeff Sessions Budget</a>, <a href="/tag/senate-budget-plan">Senate Budget Plan</a>, <a href="/tag/budget-gimmicks">Budget Gimmicks</a>, <a href="/tag/senate-budget">Senate Budget</a>, <a href="/tag/obama-budget">Obama Budget</a>, <a href="/tag/jeff-sessions">Jeff Sessions</a>, <a href="/tag/media-criticism">Media Criticism</a>, <a href="/politics">Politics News</a></p> http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/24/dan-pfeiffer-white-house_n_1448640.html 2012-04-24T11:01:04Z 2012-04-24T11:01:35Z The Huffington Post News Team http://www.huffingtonpost.com/the-news/ WASHINGTON -- The Huffington Post sat down with White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer Tuesday for a live video discussion on the major topi... <p>Read more: <a href="/tag/white-house-budget">White House Budget</a>, <a href="/tag/white-house">White House</a>, <a href="/tag/video">Video</a>, <a href="/tag/white-house-pfeiffer">White House Pfeiffer</a>, <a href="/tag/dan-pfeiffer-obama">Dan Pfeiffer Obama</a>, <a href="/tag/dan-pfeiffer-white-house">Dan Pfeiffer White House</a>, <a href="/tag/obama-budget">Obama Budget</a>, <a href="/tag/obama-administration">Obama Administration</a>, <a href="/tag/dan-pfeiffer">Dan Pfeiffer</a>, <a href="/tag/obama-economy">Obama Economy</a>, <a href="/tag/student-loans">Student Loans</a>, <a href="/tag/buffett-rule">Buffett Rule</a>, <a href="/politics">Politics News</a></p> http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/20/obama-taxes-cbo-economy_n_1441757.html 2012-04-20T17:40:36Z 2012-04-20T17:40:22Z The Huffington Post News Team http://www.huffingtonpost.com/the-news/ WASHINGTON -- Republicans have pounced on a Congressional Budget Office report Friday that says President Barack Obama's budget would add to deficits ... <p>Read more: <a href="/tag/taxes">Taxes</a>, <a href="/tag/cbo">Cbo</a>, <a href="/tag/ryan-budget">Ryan Budget</a>, <a href="/tag/tax-cuts">Tax Cuts</a>, <a href="/tag/obama-budget">Obama Budget</a>, <a href="/tag/obama-tax-cuts">Obama Tax Cuts</a>, <a href="/tag/congressional-budget-office">Congressional Budget Office</a>, <a href="/tag/bush-tax-cuts">Bush Tax Cuts</a>, <a href="/tag/paul-ryan-budget">Paul Ryan Budget</a>, <a href="/tag/video">Video</a>, <a href="/politics">Politics News</a></p> http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rep-charles-rangel/paul-ryan-budget_b_1438997.html 2012-04-19T18:49:01Z 2012-04-19T18:49:40Z Rep.
