Merkley Demagogues It

This one-sentence quote just arrived in the form of a presser from Sen. Merkley's office:

“The House leadership’s budget resolution is great if you happen to be an oil executive or a financial titan on Wall Street, but not for our seniors. Dismantling Medicare while giving bonus tax breaks to the very wealthiest in America is what may pass for bold in Washington, but in Oregon it is unacceptable.”

Hey, thanks, Senator. We needed some quick demagoguery. Fortunately, you were there for us.

UPDATE: Seems that our Senator used Cliff Notes for his statement. The President's statement here.

UPDATE: Here's the take away; "If Obama believes there is a "more balanced" way than Ryan's approach, why hasn't he pursued it in the past two years?"
