This is not too shocking:
Via The Hill:
Top White House officials are warning liberal and labor leaders to brace themselves for President Obama’s budget proposal.
Gene Sperling, director of the National Economic Council, sought in meetings last week to lift the left’s gloom about Washington’s crackdown on spending by promising that the president this year will focus on job creation rather than deficit cutting.
Obama staffers sought to present their budget plan as a glass half full. According to sources familiar with the briefings, they promised that the president will focus on jobs and the economy, instead of deficit-cutting, which dominated last year’s debate on Capitol Hill.
Obama has signaled in recent weeks that he plans to run a populist reelection campaign. He will need to keep liberal activist and labor groups — important parts of the Democratic base — energized for his strategy to work.
In his first three years, Obama had a free hand to suggest spending levels for government programs in his annual budget blueprint. But that is not the case this year because the administration is constrained by the budget deal reached in August to raise the debt limit.
He must stick to the $1.047 trillion spending cap he agreed to with GOP leaders, which means he will call for less discretionary spending than he did last year.
I agree with William Teach, it will never, in a million year pass a Democrat-controlled Congress. I can also tell you this, if President Obama tries to push this through, he support base on the left will dry up and dry up badly. Which for those of us, who want that idiot out of the White House; is a very good thing.
Either way, it should be very interesting to watch. Popcorn anyone? 
I have been blogging full time since 2006. First as a "skeptical left of center" and then as a right-libertarian. Needless to say, in the last 7 years my politics has changed greatly. I have been out of work all that time. Yes, I do live with my parents. I have to. I am all they have. I am an only child and they are in their mid-60's. I used to have Adsense here and Google suspended my account and really did not give a reason. I filed an appeal and it was denied. So, here I am, with little or no income at all. I still have Infolinks, but it is not enough to live on.
I am telling you this for this reason: I could really use the support. If you would like to donate, please do. I could use the support. Thank you and God Bless.
Warmest Regards,
