Stephan covered this. I’ll just comment.

You can’t write down a plan that doesn’t exist. Barack Obama doesn’t have a budget plan; he has rhetoric. He can attack private jet owners and accuse Republicans of defending the rich, but ask him to put ideas to law and he can’t do it.

Why? Because it constrains him. It’d make the plan official. It’d provide people with specific sections to criticize or ask about. He wants to be able to spout daily talking points and change plans depending on the audience.

Obama warns of financial apocalypse but does nothing to actually prevent it. He’d rather see it happen and then spend the next year blaming Republicans. No plan. No legislation. No details. Just words.

Leaders make specific plans. Leaders commit to an idea. Leaders try to stop catastrophe. Obama isn’t a leader. He’s a weak-willed politician who changes his rhetoric depending on the audience.

Which, again, is why you don’t see a plan from the White House.
