Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) has some pretty harsh words about the budget for the leader of his party (and country, for that matter).
"Why are we doing all this when the most powerful person in these negotiations - our president - has failed to lead this debate or offer a serious proposal for spending and cuts that he would be willing to fight for?" asked Manchin. "How does that make sense?"

Isn't the President a different branch of government from those guys?
Please tell me you aren't comparing this to Sharron Angle or Palin.
When did I compare anything or anyone to Palin or Angle?

Originally posted by SleepyguyI wonder why Manchin's even a Dem. Maybe family history or something. WV can elect a liberal Dem (Jay Rockefeller is fairly liberal), so it's not like he needs to be conservative to win.
Wasn't Manchin a co-sponsor of Mike Lee's balanced budget amendment?
Why yes he was.

Edit: Democrats teaming up with right wing radicals on the budget? I like it!
WV politics... almost Heaven.
