BET Wire: Obama Says the GOP's Budget Proposal Is a Real 'Stinkburger'

Obama and Palin both hate the GOP budget proposal.

In Case You Missed It - Republicans leave President Obama scratching his head; Ben Carson kind of blames the spread of measles on immigrants; one lawmaker thinks it's OK if your food service worker doesn't wash his hands after a bathroom break — and more. — Joyce Jones (@BETpolitichick)

In Case You Missed It - President Obama uses humor to diss the GOP's latest budget proposal, Sarah Palin thinks it's a joke, D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray's primary defeat definitely wasn't an April Fool's prank, and more.  —Joyce Jones (@BETpolitichick) (Photo: BET)

Not Funny - Obama doesn't think much about House Budget Committee chairman Paul Ryan's latest budget proposal. “It’s like that movie Groundhog Day. Except it’s not funny," he said in a speech at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor. “If they tried to sell this sandwich at Zingerman’s they’d have to call it the Stinkburger or the Meanwich,” he added, referring to the famous deli where he lunched before delivering his remarks.

Sarah Says - Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin also criticized the Republican budget in a similar way but for different reasons. The 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee called it a "joke" because it doesn't cut enough "wasteful" government spending. "This is the definition of insanity," she said of the budget. (Photo: T.J.

Get Over It Already - "The debate over repealing this law is over. The Affordable Care Act is here to stay," Obama said Tuesday in the White House Rose Garden. "In the end, history is not kind to those who deny Americans basic economic security. Nobody remembers well those who stand in the way of America's progress or our people. That's what the Affordable Care Act represents."(Photo: Win McNamee/Getty Images)

Nowhere to Go - The Senate is expected to pass a bipartisan bill on April 7 that would extend the emergency unemployment benefits that expired in December. It is a short-term solution but senators are working on a longer-term plan. In addition, individuals who lost the benefit at the end of last year would receive retroactive checks. Unfortunately, the bill is DOA in the House. (Photo: EPA/JUSTIN LANE/LANDOV)

If 50 Times You Don't Succeed... - The Republican-led House on April 3 passed yet another Obamacare repeal bill. The legislation would repeal a provision in the law that sets 30 hours a week as the threshold for defining a full-time employee and raises it to a 40-hour work week. Like similar other efforts, it won't go anywhere in the Senate. (Photo: Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)

Boston Red Sox - Staying tru to his Windy City roots las year, President Obama joked, "Big Papi — Love this guy…Even a White Sox fan can appreciate these guys. May the best Sox win [this season]."

A Cheap Stunt? - Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz is a sly one. Turns out the selfie he scored with Obama on March 31 was sponsored by Samsung. “When we heard about the visit to the White House, we worked with David and the team on how to share images with fans. We didn’t know if or what he would be able to capture using his Note 3 device,” the company said Tuesday in a statement, the Boston Globe reported the next day. The White House was not pleased.

This Man Thinks Obama Is Gay - Pastor Scott Lively, a Massachusetts gubernatorial candidate, is questioning Obama's sexuality. “I think Mr. Obama may well be a homosexual himself,” he told a London television station. “He is certainly a radical homosexualist—meaning a person, whether they are homosexual or not, meaning a person who is 100 percent invested in the homosexual agenda.”  (Photo: The Republican /Landov)
