You just can't stop yourself from lying!!!!Bush's 2009 budget was passed in 2008 effective 10/2008 to 10/2009.
As Republicans love to say, there is no 'Obama' 2009 budget ... or 2010, or 2011, or 2012, or 2013
The Senate just passed Obama's 2014 budget.
Bush's 2009 budget was passed in 2008
No it wasn't.
you're on it
Bush did NOT sign a budget for 2009.
That June 2008 house plan was just that and as to the senate, from Patty Murrays website-
Senate Passes FY 2009 Budget Resolution (June 4, 2008)
Washington, DC The Senate today gave final approval to the fiscal year 2009 budget conference report. The five-year fiscal plan balances the budget; makes needed investments in energy, education, and infrastructure; and cuts taxes on the middle class. Importantly, the plan assumes no tax increase. It was adopted by the Senate on a bipartisan vote of 48-45. With an affirmative House vote expected Thursday, this will mark the first time Congress has adopted a budget during an election year since 2000.
Fiscal Year 2009 - Past Budget Resolutions - Senate Budget Committee
They knew that they had a very good shot at winning the election, so they let is sit there after. The only thing they would do is approve spending requests. Obama also included in HIS 2009 budget, 410 Bn Bush had refused to sign as a supplemental spending bill. ( oh and don't forget the Earmarks Obama had vowed to disallow)
its this friggin simple-
The United States federal budget for fiscal year 2009 began as a spending request submitted by President George W. Bush to the 110th Congress. The final resolution was approved by the House on June 5, 2008.[2] The final spending bills for the budget were not signed into law until March 11, 2009 by President Barack Obama, nearly five and a half months after the fiscal year began.

WASHINGTON After a grueling, all-night debate that ended close to 5 a.m., the Senate on Saturday adopted its first budget in four years, a $3.7 trillion blueprint for 2014 that would fast-track passage of tax increases, trim spending gingerly and leave the government still deeply in the debt a decade from now
Senate Passes $3.7 Trillion Budget, Its First in 4 Years
The Adults are back!!
Mitch McConnell: "No budget that calls for a tax increase will ever pass this Senate"
Mitch lied!
And Obama is admitting he is a failure by want the debt ceiling raised. You want a cookie?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FactCheck.org : Obama?s Spending: ?Inferno? or Not?
Obama increased fiscal 2009 spending by at most $203 billion
snip/
Fiscal 2009 began Oct. 1, 2008. That was before Obama was elected, and nearly four months before he took office on Jan. 20, 2009.
President Bush signed the massive spending bill under which the government was operating when Obama took office. That was Sept. 30, 2008. As The Associated Press noted, it combined a record Pentagon budget with aid for automakers and natural disaster victims, and increased health care funding for veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Bush also signed, on Oct. 3, 2008, a bank bailout bill that authorized another $700 billion to avert a looming financial collapse (though not all of that would end up being spent in fiscal 2009, and Obama later signed a measure reducing total authorized bailout spending to $475 billion).
On Jan. 7, 2009 two weeks before Obama took office the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office issued its regular budget outlook, stating: CBO projects that the deficit this year will total $1.2 trillion.
CBO attributed the rapid rise in spending to the bank bailout and the federal takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac plus rising costs for unemployment insurance and other factors driven by the collapsing economy (which shed 818,000 jobs in January alone).
Another factor beyond Obamas control was an automatic 5.8 percent cost of living increase announced in October 2008 and given to Social Security beneficiaries in January 2009. It was the largest since 1982. Social Security spending alone rose $66 billion in fiscal 2009, and Medicare spending, driven by rising medical costs, rose $39 billion.
How Much Did Obama Add?
But its also true that Obama signed a number of appropriations bills, plus other legislation and executive orders, that raised spending for the remainder of fiscal 2009 even above the path set by Bush. By our calculations, Obama can be fairly assigned responsibility for a maximum of $203 billion in additional spending for that year.
It can be argued that the total should be lower. Economist Daniel J. Mitchell of the libertarian CATO Institute who once served on the Republican staff of the Senate Finance Committee has put the figure at $140 billion.
Bush's 2009 $1.4 deficit budget has been the law of the land, as Republicans have blocked Obama's budgets.
The 2014 budget is the first from Obama that Republicans decided not to block.
The President has between 20 and 80 House Republicans that will vote to pass the budget.

And you feel that is a good thing truly scary.
Leading economists and scholars - and Dick Cheney - have told you over and over and over ....

why do you keep saying that? every budget obama has submitted has received zero votes from either party. Were you born a liar? Or, did you learn it?

That lie was already debunked earlier in this thread. See above.Bush's 2009 $1.4 deficit budget has been the law of the land, as Republicans have blocked Obama's budgets.

Obama's budgets have NEVER been voted on.
Republican "VERSIONS" of his budgets have been voted on and got protest votes from both sides.
Remember, in 2009 it was Mitch McConnell that said no Obama budget that contains a tax increase would pass this Senate
The idiot was true to his word!
