GOP congressional leaders Friday vowed to oppose President Obama's budget priorities, comparing them to those of socialist governments in Europe.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and House Minority Leader John A. Boehner of Ohio — speaking to the annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington — targeted their barbs at Obama's fiscal 2010 budget blueprint, including his proposal for a new cap-and-trade system for carbon emissions allowances.
