LOL! The Bamster insisted on Sequestration but didn't think the Republicans would embrace it. Now he has absolutely NO Plan B on how to deal with the situation.

[hinckley buzzard]

Plan B is, "The media will bail me out somehow."

[DrDude]

Hopefully the perfect storm is closing in on Obie/Osama. He has no ideas. He has no plans. He has no budget. He will be run out of the country should the Sequester occur. Obie will have to use those 7,000 machine guns and 2 billion rounds of ammo when THE PEOPLE revolt. Boehner is no genius but he will clearly come out ahead on this issue.

[brownsfan]

Baloney.

The average American has no idea what Sequestration is about. The Obama media simply has to say it’s all the Republican’s fault and the stupid, inattentive public will buy it, lock, stock and barrel.

[mrsmith]

Obama has been nothing but Reid’s stalking horse for 2 years.
Thank heavens Boehner is finally treating him like the inconsequentiality he is.

Better late than never.

President Valery Jarrett tries to keep Pretty-Boy Obama well supplied with Teleprompter Speeches.

After the 2012 election, suddenly Pretty-Boy Obama has became a Lame-Duck Liability to President Jarrett.

Fortunately, the Liberal Agenda Media very quickly morphed a horrible School Shooting into a Constitutional Challenge, and Pretty-Boy O. was promptly sent out to read President Jarrett’s Teleprompter Speeches to adoring Liberal Fans.

Now President Jarrett has the freedom of action that has been so effective for her over the last 4 years.

President Jarrett’s Sequestration Plan can easily be blamed on the Republicans, and repeated frequently through the Puppet Liberal Agenda Media, to the six-o’clock-dinner-news audience.

Just like the first 4 years of Obamanation, the next 4 years should be equally disastrous.

"Now he has absolutely NO Plan B on how to deal with the situation.

Obama needs no plan B for he wins either way. If the sequestration goes into effect, he has achieved the liberals wet dream of gutting future growth of the military budget. If the Pubs cave on the sequestration, Obama wins by declaring the Pubs have agreed to his ever increasing spending plans. Our mistake has been believing that Obama is nothing more than a empty suit. He is a ruthless, calculating ideologue.

Obama forced House Republicans to swallow a tax-rate increase for the first time in more than a decade, breaking a vow that had been a bright line with their conservative base. Even though the President had to adjust on the baseline for the marginal tax increase from a $200,000 income level to $400,000, he successfully used the leverage of scheduled increases of tax rates in all brackets to break GOP opposition as the clock ran out.

Morrissey can't begin his piece with paragraph full of lies and then expect readers to continue to follow along.

First of all, there was no "tax-rate increase" because nothing was passed before "the clock ran out". The clock DID, in fact, run out. The Bush tax cuts expired at the end of the year and rates returned automatically to the Clinton era rates. It was only then, now January 2013, that the House passed a NEW tax bill that essentially reinstated the Bush tax rates for nearly everybody, and permanently this time.

Since the new tax cut bill was passed AFTER rates had already gone up the Republicans did NOT "break a vow" because they did NOT agree to raise taxes on anybody. Sure, the rates were back to Clinton era levels for only a very brief period, but that happened automatically. The distinction is important.

RE :”Boehner has triumphed in at least exposing the White House’s fumbling on spending issues – and he wasted no time in driving the point home. “Yesterday the president warned of grave economic consequences if the sequester were to go into effect, but he didn’t announce any specific plans of how he would address it,” he pointed out after Obama’s demand for a delay. “He didn’t bother to outline how he would replace the sequester, which he suggested and insisted upon in August of 2011. He didn’t even tell us when we might see his budget, which is again late, and how he would address the sequester in his budget.”
In short, the President has no plan, and no leverage. With the tax rates and Alternative Minimum Tax fixes now permanent, Obama has no more leverage to force the House into bending to his will. His one gimmick to force Republicans to cave into his demands for higher taxes and more spending just backfired, and Obama has nothing more to offer. After almost four years of budget cliffs and gimmicks, Barack Obama will have to accept that reality and get serious about budget reform on the other side of the ledger. “

This is going to be better to watch than the tax fight that I was 100% sure Republicans would lose at.

A young black Dem (O supporter and liberal) at work told me that Obama was controlling this whole thing again and that it would end just like the others.

I said “The GOP house will extend the debt limit a few more months and let the spending cuts go into effect”
So he says that the GOP will get blamed for the spending cuts that Obama signed onto, just like the others.

I asked :”Do most voters even care about those cuts?”

He claimed they did but his polling sample is Marylanders w(+Dems) who live on gubment spending. I told him they don't count because this state is BRIGHT BLUE. I questioned if key voters care.

Did I just wake up from a thousand year slumber and find that Boner/Boehner just maybe, might have grown a pair of balls?

However, we're still in the first qtr of the game (in this particular instance) and that gives Boner/Boehner LOTS & LOTS of opportunity to run crying & sobbing back into the arms of the one he loves....RAT bastard socialist commie pig 0dumb0sh_t!

Personally I think that Boner/Boehner will roll over, cave in, capitulate & bend over to 0dumb0 on the sequester, once Odumb0 & the partisan media hacks bear down on him in earnest!

[ballplayer]

Oh Yeah,wait until tuesday Night when the Facist Pig goes into another one of his Rants and Harry Reid and the Press carries his water,then tell me how he is losing again
