Right....Obama signed the 09 omnibus bill....which was Bush's last budget....and the Republicans didnt get everything they want..it is not an issue of transparency...they are the minority!

The 2010 budget resolution that he sent to Congress in Feb does not come back to him for signature....that is the law.

You crack me up. What an apologist! Now it is because they are the majority. Which is it?

"Hey, fuck you, we are in charge."

You are a partisan hack for the demoncrats.

Please cite the specific sections of the current House and/or Senate rules that you think allow for a lack transparency....or that provide fewer privileges for the minority than the previous rules that the Republicans implemented that limited the prvilieges of the Democrats.

Not what you read in Malkin or quote from some Repub in Congress....cite the section of the rules. Hell, not one Republican member of Congress could..maybe you can do better.

I cite facts about the budget process, the ethics/earmark/lobbying reform law and you retort with bullshit.

Your continual return to this subject is a total smoke screen.

I have repeatedly pointed out that there was a lack of transprency due to the way the bills were presented for review, on short notice. You can have all the rules you want and pass all the laws you want saying that you are not going to do business as usual. Pelosi has continually lied to the American public about how she was going to conduct business as the Majority Leader. She has failed. You have failed to convince me. Your opinion, which you hold up to be "facts", are not so factual when I have shown how business has been actually conducted. I suggest we move on from this disagreement.

And I cite facts about how they actually have done business since taking charge of Congress in 2006, and they have done nothing but talk out of both sides of their mouth as they hide what is going on until the last minute, and spew bullshit through their apologists.
