CREDIBILITY? WHAT CREDIBILITY? Obama has been forced to face his abysmal failure to break the backs of the working class with more new taxes to pay for his 29 cockamamie federal giveaways. Even after lying, and coercing and haranguing his entire administration into going along w/ the scam to frighten Americans, the soft-ball sequestration cuts have become a reality he has to acknowledge.

THE GOOD NEWS is that the sequester grounded VP Biden’s pricey govt plane. (gloat)

"AF Two is grounded for weekend trips starting Friday," one source said, the pricey military plane Biden uses to travel home, often to play golf at Fieldstone Golf Club, a private club. Biden also occasionally flies Air Force Two to Delaware during the week.

(NOTE: The veep's govt plane has also been spotted frequently in the Caribbean where his (cough) brother has a posh beachfront home).

Obama winged around the country like Chicken Little----cackling about the sky falling if he did not get another trillion dollars to throw away on 29 new federal fedral giveaways. (Obama's "turkey trot" was intended to increase Dem's midterm chances).

COMMENTATOR CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER OBSERVES---"Obama's alarming move---deliberately making the most painful and socially disruptive cuts possible (putting 2000 imprisoned illegal immigrants on the streets--- hardened criminals plotting crimes against law-abiding Americans). When the Nation was at the fiscal cliff, Obama cunningly split Republicans and got a slew of new taxes.

The sequester scam is intended to break the Repubs on spending..... to make cuts look as painful as possible, and let Republicans come crawling for a “balanced” deal----more back-breaking tax-hikes on the working class). In the past two years, House Republicans stopped cold Obama’s left-liberal agenda. If Obama can break them now, the road is open to resume legislating Obama's expansive, entitlement-state liberalism proclaimed in his 2012 inaugural address.

But Obama cannot win if 'nothing bad really happens' with sequestration. Indeed, he’d look both foolish and cynical for having cried wolf."

FR POSTED by ColdOne Politico44----Education Secretary Arne Duncan tried Friday to explain his claim that teachers have already been laid off because of sequestration –– all he'd meant to say was that teachers have been warned about layoffs tied to the federal spending cuts.

"Let me be really, really clear about this, we're getting caught in the details here: What I said was that teachers were getting notices. In the district we talked about, 110 teachers have gotten notices," he said during a question-and-answer session at Rolling Terrace Elementary School in Tacoma Park, Md., just outside the District of Columbia.

"Now I think there was a misinterpretation that they're being laid off tomorrow. That's not what I said, that's not what I meant." (Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...

Duncan's another Susan "Benghazi" Rice---thrown a millstone by the Obama admin to wear on TV talk----to read the lines provided by DNC's Midterm Elections Committee.

One would hope a Cabinet Secy knows federal funding of teachers (firemen and cops) is miniscule---and would have nothing to do with sequestration (/sarc).
