Obama can't spend a dime with out the house... Its up to them to bring back balanced budges, but we all know they won't.
The house has been gop controled for awhile... Reality, niether side is "better" or "worse" they both suck ass.
And if they had any balls, they could shut down all funding and reject every bill until he lets one make it too the floor. they just don't have the balls for it.
