It doesn’t matter. Obama is bluffing. As a defender of the welfare/warfare state, he doesn’t really want the automatic cuts. The GOP should call his bluff and embrace sequestration. They have an opportunity to paint him in a corner if they do this.

—Yep. The only reason he’s saying this is because he already knows it’s not really going to happen. The “automatic” domestic cuts will be smoke and mirrors, and will be pushed back and never actually go into effect.

Your thinking is right ...EXCEPT, there will be no cuts. They are only scheduled to take place in 2013 and if Obama is reelected that is off the table.

If a (R) is elected, I am afraid he will be cowed by the media and choose to play nice with the (D)s.
