How Obama Lost His Edge Over the GOP on Spending (Clueless "Negotiator")

Boehner has triumphed in at least exposing the White House’s fumbling on spending issues – and he wasted no time in driving the point home. “Yesterday the president warned of grave economic consequences if the sequester were to go into effect, but he didn’t announce any specific plans of how he would address it,” he pointed out after Obama’s demand for a delay. “He didn’t bother to outline how he would replace the sequester, which he suggested and insisted upon in August of 2011. He didn’t even tell us when we might see his budget, which is again late, and how he would address the sequester in his budget.”

Did I just wake up from a thousand year slumber and find that Boner/Boehner just maybe, might have grown a pair of balls?

However, we're still in the first qtr of the game (in this particular instance) and that gives Boner/Boehner LOTS & LOTS of opportunity to run crying & sobbing back into the arms of the one he loves....RAT bastard socialist commie pig 0dumb0sh_t!

Personally I think that Boner/Boehner will roll over, cave in, capitulate & bend over to 0dumb0 on the sequester, once Odumb0 & the partisan media hacks bear down on him in earnest!

The sequester process will set into motion what I like to call the old “parade of horribles” routine. The administration will choose the most politically controversial cuts they can, then try to blame them on the GOP.

I’m reminded of a little kid back in the 50’s. He’d been one of the last polio victims, and lived in an iron lung. Every time there was a proposal to cut back some bureaucrat’s limo costs, it always transmogrified into shutting off poor little Johnny’s iron lung. The little sucker kept discovering a new threat to his life every time the legislature proposed a common sense cost reduction.

So, really, there’ll be an extensive effort to cast the cuts in the most egregious manner possible. Whether even that won’t provoke the majority of the public to give a damn is an open question.

“The average American has no idea what Sequestration is about.”

You are absolutely right. That is why I have been begging for republican lawmakers to carry an iPad with them everywhere they go; so that when an alphabet-bamacommie-camera (ABC) is shoved in their face, they can show a clip of Obama’s sequestration plan.

LIV’s know that all republicans are liars and racists, but an iPad never lies.

RE :”The sequester process will set into motion what I like to call the old “parade of horribles” routine. The administration will choose the most politically controversial cuts they can, then try to blame them on the GOP.”

Its already started. The news is reporting it as such.

But unlike the tax cut extension battle which the GOP had zero chance of what was defined as them winning, it will effect a limited number of people.

I live in MD and am hearing some whining, but the Feds are spending so such $$$ now its like a drop.
