Senate unanimously rejects Obama budget

Harry Reid said last week that the Senate Dems will not be presenting a budget for 2012, meaning that for the second year in a row, they refuse to do their lavishly-funded jobs.  Apparently, Reid is insistent that no Democrat budget gets passed…including his own president’s:

The Senate voted unanimously on Wednesday to reject a $3.7 trillion budget plan that President Obama sent to Capitol Hill in February.

Ninety-seven senators voted against a motion to take it up.

Democratic aides said ahead of the vote that the Democratic caucus would not support the plan because it has been supplanted by the deficit-reduction plan Obama outlined at a speech at George Washington University in April.

Is that right?  Well that’s odd, since Reid said there will be NO Dem budget in the Senate.  If there’s no budget that will see the light of day, then how can the Dems claim they only voted down ObaMao’s budget because of another budget that they…uh…won’t be voting on?  Huh?

By the way, the MSM narrative has been that the Paul Ryan budget that was passed by the House was rejected in the Senate by a vote of 57-40, with five Republicans voting “No” with the Dems.  The MSM hasn’t focused nearly the same amount on the 53 Dems who rejected the Obama budget.  Because in MSM math, “5 GOP > 53 Dem” in newsworthiness.

Exit question: Will race-baiting black Congressman James Clyburn (D-SC) accuse Reid and the other 52 Senate Democrats of opposing Obama’s budget because they’re racist?  I dunno.
