POTUS: cuts will affect our clown budget

  So we get how this goes. You pick a target and demonize it. You repeat the same nasty untrue (or maybe a bit of truth mixed in with lies) over and over and over. You get a few friends to say similar things.
  In continuing to make your case, then, you cite your previous speechs and stuff you put your friends up to saying.
  This is the standard OP used by The Prince, who wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth. 
  No, maybe just a bitter pill.
  So in preparation to make a speech, you find some poor dummy who has a disease or lost a job or is a complete scammer (or all these things), you talk with him/her/it on camera and then cite their sadsack situation in your speeches.
  Throw in a couple "This isn't who we are!"s and "Let me be clear!"s and "Ever-body has to do their fair share!"s and "Change is hard!"s and you're good to go!
  Like Obama's speech today.
  Obama hasn't had a decent budget since he was elected. The Dems haven't passed a budget since he was elected.
  Under this president, the federal debt has increased by 5 trillion dollars. No attempt is ever made to save money or cut. 
  In fact, spending has increased to clownish proportions.
  Sadly, I can Google "clown" and "GSA" and get 231,000 results, most of which will NOT be from the MSM.
  Yet today today The Prince took the opportunity to bash anybody who tries to cut anything:

If these cuts are spread out evenly, then 10 million college students -- including some of you -- would see your financial aid cut by an average of more than $1,000 each. Thousands of medical research grants for things like Alzheimer’s and cancer and AIDS would be eliminated. Our investments in clean energy that are helping to break our dependence on foreign oil and are creating jobs here in Ohio would be cut by nearly a fifth. By the time you retire, Medicare would turn into a voucher system that likely would not cover the doctors or the care that you need -- that would have to come out of your pocket. Job training programs like this one would be forced to cut back. Thousands of Americans would lose out on critical employment and training services. That's the truth.

  Nobody wants anything cut, ever.
  Ever.
  No cuts. No cuts in the rate of increase.
  No stopping departments from hiring clowns for their million dollar Vegas trips. Nothing.
  And if you try, you're politically dead. 
  At least to the current administration.
  They won't be able to hire as many clowns or provide free parking spaces for the wives of employees who are on vacation seminar trips.
UPDATE: I rest my case. Politico:

--“[Rep. Anthony Weiner] would enter in his office in the Rayburn Building screaming at the top of his lungs, ‘Why the fuck am I not on MSNBC?!’ When the health care debate kicked in, Anthony Weiner became the one-man standard-bearer for the single-payer system. He was now on MSNBC every week, sometimes every day – to the point where he was carrying his own makeup kit. (Or rather, his press guy was.) But because he believed that a fighter should also go into the enemy camp, he was also the designated liberal brawler on Fox. He rather enjoyed his screaming matches with Fox hosts Sean Hannity and Megyn Kelly. It burned bile, he liked to say. 

“Neither Pelosi nor anyone else deputized him to speak for his party. But as the ultimate freelancer in a boy of 435 legislative entrepreneurs, Anthony Weiner had discovered that if you go on TV often enough and say something catchy, two things happen. First, your point of view, through repetition across each network, can actually become the conventional wisdom. … Second, by speaking for the party, you are a de factor party spokesman. But not just perceptually: as if to fulfill the prophecy, Pelosi and Steny Hoyer were no actually turning to him to issue points of order on the House floor! They’d seen he was quicker on his feet than most of his other colleagues, not to mention an obliging slasher. …
