Obama's First Controversy

Well, this is a first in my lifetime, and I mean that literally. Obama has released his first budget, for $775 billion, including $300 billion in tax cuts. The controversy? Democrats as a whole are taking credit for the budget, as it clearly is in the best interests of Democrats everywhere. Meanwhile Republicans are boasting their influence on the President-Elect, as the budget is clearly in the best interests of Republicans everywhere.

In other words, Obama hasn’t even taken office yet (he’s submitting the budget now so he can approve it in his first month in office) and the biggest problem with his first budget is that it benefits so many people that it doesn’t leave any room for partisanship.
