Obama, his team struggling with accuracy when explaining impact of sequester cuts

President Obama and top administration officials are struggling with accuracy in explaining the impact of billions in federal budget cuts known as sequester that kicked in Saturday morning -- even getting called out by a Capitol Hill superintendent about furloughs for support staffers.
Carlos Elias, the Capitol Building superintendent, sent out a memo Friday reminding staffers that the current sequestration plan does not include “reductions in force or furloughs” and that “pay and benefit of each of our employees will not be impacted.”
Though not directly mentioning Obama by name, Elias also said in the memo that a “high-ranking official said employees that clean and maintain the U.S. Capitol will receive a cut in pay.”
Hours before the memo was released, the president, in what appears to be the administration’s attempt to maximize the potential impact of the cuts, said at a press conference: “Starting tomorrow everybody here, all the folks who are cleaning the floors at the Capitol. Now that Congress has left, somebody’s going to be vacuuming and cleaning those floors and throwing out the garbage. They’re going to have less pay. The janitors, the security guards, they just got a pay cut, and they’ve got to figure out how to manage that. That’s real.”

they were going to get a pay cut, but I miracled it away.
Great observation.
The worst thing about telling a lie is you have to rmember what you stated. Guess that is a BIG PROBLEM for them right now (and for a long time)
So busy manufacturing the doom lies that they lost track of any facts - not that they would actually use them for anything.
Exactly! I don’t know if barry CAN’T remember his lies, or does what he does on purpose.
Perhaps a mix of both.
All of you have to remember the most basic principle of communist propaganda: Once heard it cannot be unheard and once seen it cannot be unseen.
The principle has always worked it’s magic on ignorant and stupid people and always will.
Very apropos cartoon.
I’m thinking with Mooch away DownLow Barry will have his spokesboy announce a new “White House” appointment for Wharton School Grad Reggie Love. After that weekend of action in Fla, Barry will want him around all the time, ala Kal Penn. Those two silly kids! They just keep breaking up to making up!
Hmmmmm...Reggie Love....wonder what the title will be. Should be a laugh riot.
Boy, Mooch must have made some deal with the devil to be this guys beard to this extent.
