W.H.: Americans too busy to understand sequester
Politico44 A Living Diary of the Obama Presidency ^ | 3/5/13 | DONOVAN SLACK

White House press secretary Jay Carney on Tuesday suggested the American people are too busy to understand the sequester cuts and their impacts.

A Gallup survey this week found that 51 percent of Americans said they didn't know enough to judge if the automatic cuts are good or bad thing for the country, even though President Obama traveled the country and delivered addresses from the White House in an effort to explain them.

Carney said the word "sequester" itself is also obscure.

"I'm stunned that sequester, that that many people really know what sequester is," referring to the remainder in the survey who said they knew about the cuts. "It’s a term that most people are familiar with only if they’ve done jury duty. It doesn’t really make a lot of sense when it comes to budgetary issues."

I think people mostly seem to be busy stocking up on guns and ammo. I wonder what that means?

Yes, Jay, I agree. I think you guys are really doing a wonderful job. If you would just come visit me with the media in tow, I will bend down and kiss your feet.

No, Americans are too stupid and uninterested to understand.

Liberal control of public schools. Mission Accomplished.

I know lies and corruption when I see it.

I know attempts to destroy of our Constitution and our way of life when I see it.

I know rape and robbery of a nation when I see it.

I know America hating communists when I see ‘em.

I know traitors and enemies of my country when I see ‘em.

I know active and constant attempts to terrify (government sponsored terrorism) the People of my country when I see it.

And yes, I know “sequester” when I see it.

BUT, I do have a question. Will these ba$tards know a Revolution that THEY have forced on America....... when it is finally shoved up their collective backsides?

What the American people don’t understand is why this illegal alien POS is still in the WH or why the congress has done nothing to remove him when they all know full well he is a fraud, let alone the laws he’s broken while acting as the president. If there is a hot revolution in the US it will be due to the politicians betrayal of the law and the American people’s trust.

The WH must have an absence of shovels - too much BO dung is piling up.

We’re too lazy to become informed voters.
