    I can't believe that many people actually voted for myspace; myself included. My how a couple of years has changed things a bit.

    I don't care, as you stated, so it took me a few days to vote on this one. It looks stupid and she must not have been thinking when she did it but, oh well. Jeff is probably right, though, the girls will be getting that style (if you can call it a style) because she did

    Ryan, I never said he didn't have a Democratic controlled House and Senate. At that time his main focus was in fact Health Care Reform. That time has passed, and so did the bill. ;-) Since then it has become a split house. Several times Democrats and President Barack Obama (God, I love saying that)have introduced budget bills which were immediately struck down by House Republicans. Since Health Care Reform there hasn't been a single budget proposal by any Republican in Congress, save one. Their main effort has been to try to repeal the ACA a total of 33 times to no avail. Yeah, that's an effective way to spend taxpayer money. Now, I'm not being mean, but please don't put words in my mouth. I never stated at any time that Obama has always had a split house, only that since passage of the ACA it has been, and a very ineffective one at that. Don't forget that I also stated a fact that cannot be denied either way. President Obama may be able to draft a budget, and even sign one into law, but he is NOT responsible for the passage of bills. That responsibility lies solely with the representatives and senators of Congress. When you make a statement like "President Obama on the budget front. Who hasn't passed an actual budget for well over three years now I believe." you are in fact blaming him for the ineffectiveness of a branch of government that he has absolutely no control over. He is the Executive branch. Congress is the Legislative. You and I both know that this is the branch that proposes bills and passes them. So, while he may try to exert some influence, he cannot control their decisions. Why haven't Republicans introduced a single piece of serious leglislation concerning the budget since passage of the ACA except one? Answer: So they can try to accuse President Obama of the same thing you did. At least Democrats have made an effort to do something concerning both of those issues. It's one thing to want Obama to fail, it's entirely another to do so at the expense of the well being of the American people.

    Before you bring it up let me just state this. I know that both House and Senate Republicans have introduced Jobs Bills, but I have read several of them. They are a joke at best, just like the only real republican budget proposal by none other than Rep. Paul Ryan. The majority of which contain earmarks to repeal the ACA or defund Medicare and gut Social Security. If they were truly serious about introducing legislation to put people back to work they would drop these ridiculous earmarks and pass what really matters.

    Now Rick you know I can't let that one go. While I completely agree that the President can't pass a budget into law on their own, they can however lead. President Obama has not come remotely close to leading on the budget issue. This is probably because it would bring attention to his horrendous spending.

    The real zinger though is I can't stand by and let you present the idea that President Obama has been operating with a split House and Senate.

    You know very well his first two years he had a Democrat controlled House and Senate which is why we had Obamacare forced upon us. However, the completely Democratic controlled Legislative and Executive branch DID NOT pass a budget in the first two years of his term and to attempt to pass the blame to the GOP controlled house is very much misleading.

    Oh, by the way Ryan, I meant to address this earlier but did not have the time. In your first comment you stated that Obama had not passed a budget in over 3 years. While that may be correct it is certainly not his fault, and you know why. Because he doesn't pass the law. He can help write a budget and even sign it into law, but passing it is the job of Congress. With a democratic controlled Senate and a Republican controlled House is it really surprising that no budget has been passed? Worst of all it is an election year. A budget will not be introduced or passed until after January of next year. Let's not pretend like we don't all know why.

    Okay I was browsing E's website and came across this little gem. Not that I really give two !@@@$ about Miley Cyrus but I'm sorry; the new hairdo is horrendous. Is she going through a crazy, Psychotic, Britney Spears cycle in life? I think she might be?
