calling this the ce lo green budget. i had no idea you were so hip. paul: we did that in the paper this week. i watched the grammies, so i saw that i thought you were a lot hipper. we know strassel is. for those who don t know he was famous for the song forget you. that s what this budget was. i think it was a massive political miscalculation by the president and the white house. people are looking at this budget and scratching their heads saying, wait a minute are you serious about dealing with this fiscal crisis? r k this represents an opportunity for the republicans. now the president said i m not serious about dealing with these out of control expenditures. i think it allows the republicans to say we are the only game in town. we are the only people serious about making these cuts. paul: you are saying this r3yon politically that they didn t expect this kind of criticism?
