Barack Obama once again missed a legal deadline for sending a budget proposal to Congress. For the fourth time in five years, the Obama Administration proves that it is the laziest and most illegal presidency in the history of America. Only in 2011 did the White House send its budget proposal to Congress before the deadline of the first Monday of February. Propaganda Secretary Jay Carney claims that they are late due to the Fiscal Cliff debate. But this simply does not pass the smell test as each administration has a team which should be doing nothing but working year-round on budget issues. So is this a case of a lack of leadership, or just another sign of the contempt that Obama has for the laws of our nation, including the Constitution?
I would say a bit of all of the above! Obama is the laziest president in U.S. history. He has already been shown to disregard the Constitution on many occasions. Obama sees himself far above the law, not only with budget and fiscal matters, but in sending U.S. military forces into harms way without Congressional approval and his protocols for drone strikes leaves many people suspicious. His Justice Department picks and chooses which laws they intend to enforce, be it immigration or DOMA. While Obama is now talking up gun control his administration handed out thousands of ′assault weapons′ to Mexican drug gangs, responsible for killing not only Americans but hundreds, if not thousands, of Mexican citizens.
This leaves us with the question of just how far will Obama go in breaking our nation′s laws? Will there be some attempt to alter or ignore the Constitution to allow Obama to run for a third term? Is he setting the stage to make himself president for life? Who can say?
The bottom line is that once again, Barack Obama has missed the legal deadline for submitting a budget proposal to Congress. The Obama White House, either through laziness or arrogance, or both, continues its testing of the limits of executive authority under the U.S. Constitution. The Obama Administration routinely breaks the laws of America. But since he does so to allegedly benefit the Low Information Voters, the State-controlled Media gives him a pass.

Why should Obama obey the law? No one will hold him accountable. The Republicans are whoosies, the media is Obama’s propaganda tool. What is right is wrong and what is wrong is right. That is Obama’s and the Democrats Party’s communists manifasto.
Obama’s plan is to transform this country. He has to break alot of laws to do that.
WORK! Kings and their ruling class never work. The smelly masses or peasants work. Obama does not know how to work! He has never done it. He life is about self promotion. A guy who agitated strangers and MAYBE ATTEND CLASSES. Taught one or two classes on constitutional law. Love the fact he claims he could of had a great career at a law firm. Yeah! Knowing the law business. The Firm probable asked him to leave after a year because he could not produce or maybe he left on his own because he did not want to produce. Young lawyers fresh out of law school work long hours and you better be proficient in the law. No hanging out pretending you are smart you better be smart.
Media refused to investigate or vet Obama. Now the average citizen grass roots have to hold The Republicans feet to the fire to help stop THE Democrats Destructive Policies. The Sad truth is that the Republicans are not doing their job either.

Don’t overlook the value of incompetence.

obama is waiting on more guidance from the Chinese. They are our paymasters, so it is only fair they get to have their say. Be patient.

The Constitution requires Obama to submit a budget?
Fail! Nice try.

February 6th, 2013 at 2:28 am
More importantly, liberals don’t require Obama to be competent. ROFL.
February 6th, 2013 at 3:02 am
There is no constituional requirement for the president to draft a budget. That is the responsibility of the House of Representatives. Unfortunately, they are a bunch of spineless bags of crazy and are scared of the public reaction when we see what they want to cut. They may be the butt lickers of the wealthy but they still fear the unwashed mobs with metaphorical pitchforks. Why do you think they want to limit voting?
February 6th, 2013 at 7:18 am
@ Best Stinking Stinker,
Nobody said that the law requiring Obama to submit a budget by the first Monday in February was in the Constitution, IDIOT! The law requiring such is the Budget and Accounting Act of 1921, or Public Law 67–13, 42 Statute 20.
“In its current form, federal budget legislation law (31 U.S.C. 1105(a)) specifies that the President submit a budget between the first Monday in January and the first Monday in February. In recent times, the President’s budget submission, entitled Budget of the U.S. Government, has been issued in the first week of February.”
So there, MORON! Better luck next time!!!

Andy, your Micky impersonation is not making it.
So you think our Constitution gives Congress power to force people to make budgets? What is next… forcing people to buy health insurance?
February 7th, 2013 at 8:11 am
Well, BTT/BSS,
The Constitution certainly does give the Congress the power to pass laws and requires a presidential signature, unless a veto is used and Congress trumps it. But your comment #10 is yet another silly position. The law does not force “people” to make budgets, just the President since he is allegedly the figure-head of the Executive Branch. DUH!!!
February 7th, 2013 at 10:50 am
Hi Andy,
Congressional power over the president? Well, they can override his vetoes, and he needs their consent for treaties and appointments, and they can impeach him. Where among their enumerated powers do you find this “we order the president to submit a budget” power?
Can they also command him to eat broccoli? Let’s hear the argument.
February 7th, 2013 at 11:52 am
“Andy, your Micky impersonation is not making it.”
Five mistakes and/or wrong arguments here.
1st
No one can impersonate me, ass-hole.
2nd
First you got your asinine claim of the presidents legal obligation to submit budgets shot right back up your ass by Andy.
3rd.
Then out of desperation you changed your argument of legality to the congress.
4th
“and he needs their consent for treaties and appointments, ”
Wrong, hes been hiring,firing and appointing with impunity while obtaining a license to kill Americans.
Sec of State submits treaties.
Shes never submitted one we know of, to congress or the prez and hes submitted none either.
I could be wrong, but they’ve never been markable.
5th
“So you think our Constitution gives Congress power to force people to make budgets? What is next… forcing people to buy health insurance?”
You changed the argument again, and bolstered the idiocy I thought was complete in # 1-2-3-4
No, congress cannot force “people” to have budgets, albeit most of us manage to do so anyway,not withstanding the POTUS who is not just “people” but a public servant required by oath to submit budgets in the constitutional parameters Andy shoved up your ass.
And yes, we are forced to buy insurance, especially in matters of liable… high school sociology could teach you that.
Next time you accuse a nice man like Andy of attempting to impersonate me you might want to cast your assumptions closer the hood of Sam Kinison or Don Rickles.
You wont piss me off so much, and you’ll appear to have a clue.
You should really change your moniker.
If you’re the best thinking thinker then my lower hanging left nut is God.
February 7th, 2013 at 2:06 pm
BTT, nothing in the constitution says that the president has to wear pants. When things have been done a certain way for 200 years, just go with the precedent instead of making excuses for incompetence.
February 7th, 2013 at 3:30 pm
Hi folks,
The criticism here is of Obama as being in violation of law concerning submitting budgets to Congress. But then I see waffling from some of the regulars here about whether it is Congress (i.e. a law) or some un-named provision in the Constitution that makes Obama a criminal. And if the answer is Congress, then does the Constitution give such power to Congress?
I am just curious if anyone around here can point out the governing legal authority that would make Obama a criminal. And if that authority can compel the president to submit budgets, can it also compel him to eat broccoli?
I am hoping that someone can give me some answer that makes sense.
February 7th, 2013 at 4:44 pm
“I am hoping that someone can give me some answer that makes sense.”
Not with your list of stupid questions.
You’re original question/statement was answered.
Google “impeachment hearings”, “tribunals” etc…
We are not your drivers ed manual
February 7th, 2013 at 5:50 pm
The president is in violation of the Budget Act of 1974, which requires Potus to submit a budget proposal to congress each February. That is the law that turns the vague wording of the constitution into statutory requirements. So yeah, he is both incompetent and an un-prosecuted “criminal”.
February 8th, 2013 at 3:43 am
Thank you, McCain. So you believe that Congress has the Constitutional authority to compel the president to submit a budget.
Which “vague wording” in the Constitution gives Congress this authority over the president? And who will answer the question: Can Congress also require him to eat broccoli?
February 8th, 2013 at 6:58 am
I suppose if the Congress were to pass such a act, and it was signed into law by the president and passed any legal challenges in the courts, then the president might be required to eat broccoli.
Naturally, this is a ridiculous notion from the mind of a desperate, moronic Liberal. BTT has failed to grasp the significance of the issue at hand. That our nation has been functioning essentially on auto-pilot for the last four years since Obama and the Democrats have been unwilling to pass an annual budget. Something which the past presidents were able to do. Even the dreaded George W. Bush!
February 8th, 2013 at 9:05 am
“With enough care and effort you can grow your own Barack-oli.”
Only Michelle can make him eat broccoli
http://www.styleite.com/media/michelle-obama-barack-broccoli/
I’m still a little confused.
Wasnt it Bush that hated broccoli ?
Someone moonbat dropped a truckload by the front gate ?
From what I’ve seen, Barry will swallow anything green.
Its funny watching these morons spend so much time trying to repair or create sense out of their absolutely wrong opening statements.
February 8th, 2013 at 4:05 pm
BTT, I see that you are not very well versed in our system. The president signed the law, which makes it the law of the land, and he is subject to laws the same as you and me. That’s why we have a president rather than a king. There are laws against killing people too. He cannot do that either.
February 9th, 2013 at 1:46 am
McCain, I am versed enough to expect that claims about the Constitution be accompanied by a citation of one or other of its sections. I am still waiting for someone to direct me to the part that has Congress bossing the president around in this manner. I am actually curious about this.
Can Congress require him to deliver the budget in person while balancing a book on his head? And then to exit from the building doing cartwheels?
And then to eat broccoli?
February 9th, 2013 at 2:07 am
BTT, yes I understand, and allow that you are ignorant of our constitutional system. The president is not allowed to break the law. He cannot kill you when you show up to visit the White House, nor can he set fire to the White House, nor can he shout fire in a crowded movie theater, just as he cannot disobey the budget law. Reread Article 1.8.18 since you are having trouble understanding how laws are made.
The answer to your broccoli question is no. A president would not sign a law that requires him to eat broccoli, so that will never become the law of the land. The president did sign the budget law, so the budget deadlines are the law of the land.
(LOL, feel like I am teaching kindergarten!)
February 9th, 2013 at 7:06 am
I know, Patrick! BTT is just trying to deflect the real tragedy here. That we have an incompetent boob of a president who has failed to get a new annual federal budget passed in four years.
February 9th, 2013 at 10:04 am
I think we need to start at the very beginning with this guy.
An elementary introduction to our government,its three major branchs and how it works, or in this case, is supposed to work.
“Can Congress require him to deliver the budget in person while balancing a book on his head? And then to exit from the building doing cartwheels?”
No one with an honest argument would ask a question like this because no one here opined that there would such a ridiculous balance of power to the congress.
He figures if he keeps this thread going long enough someone will get the time of day wrong so he can point it out and claim victory.
His moniker commits him to more responsibility than he can handle
