New Audio:  Michael Fauntroy and Ron Christie Discuss Obama Budget Proposal

Here is the clip of a discussion I participated in on the Thursday, February 17, 2011 edition of NPR's "Tell Me More" with Michel Martin.  I, along with Republican strategist Ron Christie, discuss President Obama's FY 2012 budget proposal.  While I am concerned about the cuts in programs I think need more support than they already get, I understand that this is just the first step in the budget battle and I'm hopeful that fewer reductions will be targeted at the poor and working class people.
