Sen. James Lankford

WASHINGTON, DC— Senator James Lankford (R-OK) Monday issued the following statement on the release of President Obama’s Fiscal Year 2016 Budget:

“The President’s White House budget proposal does not address many of the challenges facing our nation. Although our federal budget deficit has improved, we still spend nearly half-a-trillion dollars more than we take in. It is reckless that the President’s budget would increase federal spending by 7 percent in one year, and about 60 percent in ten years. The budget does not balance, it does not address the drivers of our debt, and it does not encourage private sector growth.

Thanks to PJ Media, you can watch President Obama refer to himself (me, myself and I) 118 times in three minutes while speaking to an audience of mostly young people celebrating India’s Republic Day in New Delhi on Tuesday.

Obama told the crowd, “I realize that the sight of an American president as your chief guest on Republic Day would have once seemed unimaginable. But my visit reflects the possibilities of a new moment.” He pointed out that he was the first American president to participate in the country’s Republic Day and boasted, “And I’m the first American president to come to your country twice!”

Ben Shapiro writing for Breitbart.com is reporting that Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) announced that he would vote against the nomination of Loretta Lynch for attorney general based on her statement that she supported President Obama’s executive amnesty.

Sessions explained:
Unfortunately, when asked today whether she found the President’s actions to be ‘legal and constitutional,’ Ms. Lynch said that she did. I therefore am unable to support her nomination. My concerns are furthered by Ms. Lynch’s unambiguous declaration that ‘the right and the obligation to work is one that’s shared by everyone in this country regardless of how they came here.’

Just wonderful. The nominee for the top law enforcement job in America doesn’t think law matters. Great. Must be nice to be so duplicitous, but how can she do that with a straight face?
