Or Obama wants to get re-elected

Of course...he doesn't want to be outdone by the GOP.

However, Zero wouldn't be proposing this if Pelosi was still in power.

^^^^ THIS ^^^^

My first thought was that Zero and the Rats need to appear more fiscally conservative than the RINOS, who are proposing lesser cuts if I recall right (but could be wrong).

This is nothing more than CAMPAIGN MATERIAL!

Oh, AND it is about controlling the CURRENT news cycle. Double benefits for the Rats.
