Obama: teachers at military schools may have to be furlowed one day a week because of the Sequester. Government contractors may have to take a 10% pay cut and then go home and explain it to their families. Poor people will have to cope with an end to child care while they try to keep their jobs. The accumulation of all these stories will hurt the economy and hundreds of thousands of jobs will be lost. Starting tomorrow, everyone here, all the janitors here at the Capitol will get a pay cut. That’s real. I want to be very clear — this is not a fake crisis. People are foing to be hurt, as will the economy. Joblessness will not drop as quickly as it might have.

Thanks for the reports.

(At first I thought it was humor... What a caricature of his image he is!)

Now on to the important stuff--gay marriage. Why not just let everyone decide personally what the definition of marriage is. Why not three people or why set an age limit or why prohibit marriage among siblings?

This so-called press conference is a farce. No challenging questions. And the reporters are asking how we can force these Reps to compromise and concede.

Now it is on to roads and bridges, i.e., more spending.
