Obama is not pivoting, he's spinning in the wind. The above is a lie. Obama personally called them? They'd take the call and the WH would confirm it. This is a media story for consumption by the simple-minded, meaning liberals and the lieberal press.

Easy there trigger.

From today:

Obama calling GOP senators to talk sequester fix

Remember. I was way ahead of the See BS story with my post last night.

Graham talked to the press today and confirmed things are moving forward - but it is way too early to tell if they will bear fruit.

I have never, ever seen a political force as unstoppable as Sequestration. Nobody wants it - and it is still a freight train.

Do you know why?

The only way to "fix" it is to reform Entitlements.

They are the holy grail of Gimme Politics.

Trigger should be capitalized, although I prefer Golden Cloud.

Entitlement reform is the third rail of politics and I’ll believe it when I see it. There’s not that much courage in DC and I’m counting every living person. Ping me when it happens.

The Sequestration is targeting our military which is a Constitutionally mandated organization. Obama is lying.

I think that Rush Limbaugh and his argument that Obama has been avoiding governing (in favor of perpetual “outsider” campaigning) has begun to have an effect. Rush has always succeeded in getting under Obama’s skin. I think that Rush is not only continuing to irritate Obama but that his avoiding governing theorem is gaining traction in the broader mainstream media of all things.

In recent days I’ve noticed photo-ops where Obama was pretending to govern. For example he had the press in to videotape a portion of a cabinet meeting where Obama was pretending to be engaged. I think that this latest “outreach” to some Republicans is simply further pretense of governing.

Obama’s game is being recognized finally. Keep it up Rush—you’re being effective!!
