The main point is to remember that President Obama is the one who suggested the sequester. Now, he’s acting like he had nothing to do with it. The GOP has offered many ways to get out of this dissastrous plan as long as the principle of spending cuts is maintained. This is a non-starter for President Obama, so Obama’s sequester cuts will remain in effect. That’s how it works, Mr. President.

President Obama (president for close to 5 years now) is once agan acting like he has no part in what happens in the federal government. He sets the tone, the discussion, and most of the time the laws. Still, he acts like he’s on the outside. He is the problem!!!!

The Sequester was his idea.

The Republicans have offered a budget, he turns it down, but it is someone else’s fault

Always someone else’s fault.

Meanwhile this will be the longest Air Force One gets to sit on the ground in Months, while he eats ice cream and the people of Martha’s Vineyard suck his black butt.

Live, from a certified military disabled vet:
Before I begin to consider your veiled threat,
the greatest thing that I desire, in my present
lifetime, is to have you hauled out of office,
wearing your pink tinkerbelle boots AND,
a pair of handcuffs, for all the traitorous acts
you have committed against this nation, MY
NATION, MY HOMELAND! Something you will
never understand.

Now, now...
Do things my way and nobody gets hurt.
That’s some nice veterans’ benefits you got there. Be a shame to see anything happen to them...

Ya know, this is the devil doing that.

The devil also doesn’t want you to know that he is a little runt and God is a towering colossus.

Folks, you need courage? Just kiss and make up with the Lord, it is that simple.

“Obama is threatening to yank benefits to disabled veterans who have served and in many cases bled for this nation.”

I wish someone would bleed Obama. That POS knows damned well disabled vets’ pay and benefits could be protected, but instead he chooses to hold them hostage instead.

I hate that anti-American bastard to the depth of my being.

Obama represents a spiritual hole drilled by the devil.

The devil wants to keep us looking at that hole. Because when we look at the hole, we can’t see the One above with a front loader full of fill for that hole! And in the back of that truck is an extra treasure in case that wasn’t enough.

Tell the One above you love Him, once more. It’s that simple.

Let's be clear, this is not a warning, this is a threat.

I am at a loss for polite words to describe how I feel about our so called "Commander in Chief".

He’s a hole and he’s drilled a hole.

Holes are fixed by filling them.

Regarding Obama’s threat to yank benefits of disabled veterans as a consequence of sequester, please consider the following.

Although Obama is once again trying to take advantange of a crisis to push his socialistic agenda, there is NOTHING stopping Congress from doing the following for disabled vets. Congress can make an earmark-free bill that would provide funding for disabled veterans. And when Obama vetoes the bill, if Congress is really serious about supporting disabled veterans, then Congress has the following option. The Constitution’s Clause 2 of Section 7 of Article I gives Congress the power to override Obama’s veto if 2/3 of both Houses of Congress vote to pass the vetoed disabled veterans support bill.

Anyone who thinks this racist SOB cares about veterans is stone-cold stoopid.

O and the libs in both houses of congress wanted sequester.

He and the GOP are pretending to be against it and they will all say its the other guy but none their constituents will actually be hurt its all BS..

The Defense contractors, those in the procurement chain, will not feel an effect but the folks that actually served will take it in the ass yet again..

I told Christ I love Him just again at services this evening. I confesses sins to Him and asked for His strength and courage. I have prayed before that God would smack back at the evil in our land, but He has not yet done so. The Bible does tell us that it only appears that evil prospers. Very soon evil people will know that they have withered like dead grass and will be cast into the fire. Christ tells me to love my enemies, which I struggle to do, but I still pray for them and our nation. But I still want to see God take action, because it is nothing but blow after blow to our nation these days.

Well, the way to fill spiritual holes is generally not to make them emptier.

Any genuine smack back will look counterintuitive to us, with our worldly minds. It will look a lot, in fact, like liberals who have suddenly found God.
