Obama is NOT Cutting the budget


President Obama's team is lying about the "budget cuts" in Obama's 1,500-page, $3.5 trillion budget.





They are not cutting the budget. In fact, Obama's budget is over $400 billion larger than President Bush's 2009 budget and $100 billion larger than the bloated budget resolution Congress just passed!






The fact is, the budget Obama released this week is basically the same budget his team released two months ago in "outline" form...






--This is the largest budget ever proposed by a President with the largest deficits in American history.






--It adds over $9 trillion to the national debt -- doubling the total debt accumulated from the start of our country through the Bush presidency.






--It includes the Carbon Tax, which could be as high as $2 trillion.--It includes the massive socialized health care program.






--It even ignores the $3.4 trillion budget Congress passed and reverts to Obama's original $3.5 trillion budget.






+ + The "budget cut" slight of hand






What about those "budget cuts"? As the Chicago Tribune Reported, the "news" of the budget cuts grabbed the headlines even though the supposed "cuts" were all in Obama's original budget!






There is nothing new. No new budget cuts.






Obama has simply repackaged his bloated budget -- ignoring Congress' budget resolution -- in terms of supposed budget cuts.






Obama fed this headline to the liberal media and they ran with it. Sadly, Republican leaders are trying to downplay the supposed budget cuts when, in reality, THERE ARE NOCUTS IN THE BUDGET!






+ + Expose this blatant, manipulative lie that is designed to portray Obama as a fiscally minded budget cutter when, in fact, he is the biggest spender EVER to sit in the White House.






+ + Action #1 -- Push the petition to 275 k. Please forward this to your friends and ask them to sign the "Stop The Spending" petition by going here:http://www.grassfire.net/r.asp?u=18902&PID=19941563




+ + Action #2 -- Spread the Word! We cannot allow the President to get away with this gross misrepresentation.




Also, call the White House and your members of Congress and express your disappointment about the Obama budget cut deception.




White House Switchboard: 202-456-1414




Talking Points:




#1--President Obama's announced budget cuts are nothing more than a political deception.




#2--Obama's budget is actually LARGER than the budget resolution just passed by Congress.




#3--The budget cuts are nothing new. In fact, this is the same bloated budget Obama proposed earlier in the year.




#4--Oppose the Obama budget that will nearly double our national debt and impose a massive Carbon Tax and a socialized health care program.




P.S. Again, even most Republican leaders are missing the real story here -- and the liberal media are pushing Obama's propaganda of "budget cuts."




Obama's proposal is by far the largest and most debt-ridden budget ever proposed.
