On Laura Ingrahams radio show on Friday, Washington Post columnist George Will took a few digs at the Obama White House for the way it has handled the so-called sequestration crisis.
According to Will, the process has shown the public just where President Barack Obama and other liberals are on government and how any reduction is intolerable.
I think the sequester argument is extremely useful because its very educational for the American public, Will said. When the Obama administration increases on average 17 percent the budgets of the domestic agencies that are now facing a 5 percent cut, and they say this is intolerable, they reveal that the basic position of liberalism is this whatever the size of the government is at any moment, its the bare minimum standing between us and chaos and misery, which just strikes the American people as facially preposterous.

Other than that, bravo for explaining the who liberals view the size of government.
Washington Post columnist George Will is a good example of how slow democrats are to understand reality but many are still blinded by Obama.
Very nice
The fact is, there is nothing the American people can trust coming from out government or banking system, for that matter, that includes the judicial branch.
That assumes they're educable.
You realize that when Reagan was President the only private home in Washington that he visited for dinner was George Will’s? If Reagan wanted (or needed) to have dinner with someone in Washington, he invited ‘em over to the place he was staying at on Pennsylvania Avenue. The one except was George Will.
George: Use fewer, smaller words for the Low-Information (STUPID) voter.
For example:
“0bama’s budget games prove he only wants bigger government and higher taxes.”
My thought exactly. Most people he refers to wouldn't know George Will if they stepped on him. Or rather, if he stepped in front of their Boob Toob while "Dancing With The Stars" is on.
“I think the sequester argument is extremely useful because its very educational for the American public”
They are too ignernt George.
Is that because they were...
