The Washington Post had a front page piece reporting on how Senate Democrats find themselves taking a back seat in current political debate in Washington. At one point the article refers to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s plan to bring President Obama’s budget to a vote, adding:
“which both parties lambasted as being far too timid in dealing with the nation’s swelling deficit.”
Of course this assertion is just an invention of the folks at Fox on 15th Street. While there may be some business-associated Democrats who have lambasted President Obama’s budget for being too “timid,” the vast majority of congressional Democrats have made no such criticism. Needless to say, this statement does reflect the Washington Post’s editorial position on the budget.
