Discussing his budget outline, President Obama just sent a nice shot across the bow of his erstwhile Commerce Secretary nominee, Sen. Judd Gregg (R-NH), who has rolled out some eye-poppingly hyperbolic metaphors to describe the administration’s budget options.
“The critics tend to criticize, but they don’t offer an alternative budget,” Obama just quipped.
And wouldn’t you know it, Gregg is the senior GOPer on the Senate Budget Committee … and his side won’t be offering an alternative budget this year. (House Republicans, by contrast, are taking that plunge.)
