The list of lawmakers Obama contacted include Republican Senators Bob Corker of Tennessee, Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, Rob Portman of Ohio and Susan Collins of Maine, according to either the senators or congressional aides. The White House declined to confirm the names.
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.
Obama is a community organizer from Cook County in the Land of Illusion. It's all about puffery and show and swaying the low-information voters to your cause. The tool is PR because that's all they have.
Look to Cook County and you'll see what you get: crony capitalism, a rich liberal class enjoying life, all the while "fixing" the poverty problem with by cementing poverty in place and the culmination is those same poor dementedly reelecting their masters. There is no bottom to human stupidity.
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.
