The text version of these comments may be found here.
As you will note from the transcript and the video, Sen Inhofe is laying blame for the cuts squarely at the feet of President Obama - something that the President’s partisans will consider unfair, but it comes with the desk in the Oval Office. Besides, judging from the things that got cut if the White House wasn’t involved in the process up to the neck then we have a very serious communications problem brewing between the civilian government and ...

Via Wired comes Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) accusing President Obama of gutting the military. Speaking from Afghanistan on a YouTube video posted by his press office, and contrasting the Gates proposal to the President's domestic budget, Inhofe said, "in all the time we're doing this, increasing all these welfares...the only thing in the budget that's being cut is military."

From Dollars To Death Panels: How Republicans Distorted Debates On Capitol Hill
TPM Election Central —
With Thanksgiving recess now upon us, it seems an appropriate time to revisit the hysterical Republican whoppers and talking points about the Democratic party agenda that have dominated this Congress. Herewith a top-five list:
Number Five: Paul Ryan Draws Line On Graph
Back in the Spring, when Democrats were putting together the federal budget, House Budget Committee ranking member Paul Ryan (R-WI) released a much-mocked Republican alternative, which would have basically canceled the stimulus and instituted a spending freeze of sorts.
