Looking back at Sequestration and the shutdown....it was a bunch of nothing, over nothing, about nothing. For the news media to stretch it out, and some political dimwits to say it took the Republicans down three notches...they just plain got it wrong. It dragged the Democrats down three notches, and made the news media look like 5th grade kids.

It was when Obama and his attitude, his hatred of the people, was unmasked for all to see. A lot of people had their eyes opened then. It was overkill.

For the record, sequestration led to the actual spending reductions of 2012 and 2013. Not just the usual slowing of the increase in spending. Actual dollar reductions. First time that's happened in sixty years. A lot more than a bunch of nothing.

So it was something, but not what the liberals said.
