The Swamp

by Mark Silva

The budget battle may be over, for now.

But a union-backed group that has been pummeling the so-called "party of no'' on the Republican Party's opposition to President Barack Obama's $3.55-trillion budget isn't finished.

Americans United for Change plans to roll out a new cable TV ad tomorrow, which it will run on Washington-only stations through the rest of the week, playing off of congressional approval of budget resolutions that go a long way toward meeting a lot of Obama's demands - though not all the way with Obama.

It's called, of course, "Yes We Can.''

"Last week members of Congress from across America came together to make history,'' the ad's narrator says. "They voted overwhelmingly to turn the page on the failed economic policies of the past. They passed President Obama's budget that will begin building a stronger foundation for long term economic prosperity. But not a single Republican supported the president's budget.''

"The Democratic budgets moved forward in the House and Senate last week fully embrace the priorities called for in President Obama's blueprint for long-term economic growth,'' says Tom McMahan, acting executive director of Americans United for Change

"Sadly, despite the deep and protracted Bush recession that is each day leaving thousands of Americans without jobs, homes and healthcare - the 'party of 'no' once again stood shoulder to shoulder in their mission to see President Obama 'fail.' Every single Republican in Congress said 'no we won't' to investments in priorities that will actually grow the economy, like fixing our broken health care system, reducing our dependence on foreign oil, and investing in tomorrow's educated workforce.''

Rep. Paul Ryan, the Wisconsin Republican who offered an alternative to the president's budget -- which the White House derided as an "April Fool's joke'' -- said in a video address over the weekend that Obama is only worsening the fiscal crisis which he "inherited.''

"The president's budget, which passed the House and Senate this week, will make the crisis much, much worse,'' Ryan said. "Rather than getting spending under control, it sends spending out of control

1. That's a beautiful advert everyone across the nation should get to see that. Great work.>

It's worth burning to VCD and posting door to door with a few other great ads out there.
