[quote=Anonymous]FB friends today are circulating an article in the WSJ says Obama ducking responsibility for fiscal situation.

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10000872396390444358804578016270614705726.html?fb_action_ids=10151182705592148&fb_action_types=og.recommends&fb_source=aggregation&fb_aggregation_id=288381481237582

Factcheck.org has a more nuanced take on who is responsible for what:  http://www.factcheck.org/2012/06/obamas-spending-inferno-or-not/

My question, [b]didn't Obama try to take responsibility for the fiscal situation with the Report on Fiscal Responsibility[/b]:

http://www.fiscalcommission.gov/news

Also known as Simpson Bowles, which was [b]bi-partisan legislation voted down by obstructionist republicans???[/b]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Commission_on_Fiscal_Responsibility_and_Reform

"The original proposal for a commission came from bipartisan legislation that would have required Congress to vote on its recommendations as presented, without any amendment. In January 2010, that bill failed in the Senate by a vote of 53–46, when six Republicans who had co-sponsored it nevertheless voted against it" - Wikipedia

Can someone please tell me if my understanding is correct???  Thanks.[/quote]
