A simpler answer to the question is that Obama is so stupid he doesn't realize the President is the guy who makes all those detailed sequester decisions ~ he thinks those lists of horrid events is made up in the Congress somewhere then sent over to him as orders.

Oh, he knows better. He's counting on the low-information voters to not know...and he's been surfing on that ignorance for years. It's not going to get better for a while.

What hypocrisy. Obama and Boehner both supported the sequester

This is not quite true.

I mean, they supported in in the end but Both Boehner and McConnell's idea was a denial of the debt ceiling hike if the super committee couldn't agree on a bill.

Bob Woodward: Why is Obama still misleading everyone on the sequester?


Talk about dumb?.. Bob seems to have missed literally everything Obama says is bull squeeze..
But he pulls sequester of “some hat”.. as if Obama “missed one”.. a faux pas.. and does not ALWAYS lie..

Bob sees what Bob wants to see.. that must be his problem...
AND he don’t see what he don’t want to see..
Bob is quite BLIND...

Finally, and thank you, a voice of reason!

The conservatives in this country are totally intimidated by an overwhelming left wing MSM and the never ending Drama from Obama.

If you have to ask that question you're not paying attention or you don't really want the answer.

"Sequestration" is the perfect hammer to demagogue Republicans with and demagoguing is 0bama's specialty.

Thanks SeekAndFind.
My extensive reporting for my book “The Price of Politics” shows that the automatic spending cuts were initiated by the White House and were the brainchild of Lew and White House congressional relations chief Rob Nabors -- probably the foremost experts on budget issues in the senior ranks of the federal government. Obama personally approved of the plan for Lew and Nabors to propose the sequester to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.). They did so at 2:30 p.m. July 27, 2011... “It really was the only thing we had. There was not a lot of other options left on the table.” A majority of Republicans did vote for the Budget Control Act that summer, which included the sequester. Key Republican staffers said they didn’t even initially know what a sequester was -- because the concept stemmed from the budget wars of the 1980s, when they were not in government.
The sequester is a way to screw the US, screw the taxpayer, screw the military, screw the Constitution, and screw the Republican Party -- via the ever-willing Partisan Media Shills. Woodward (and Ed Morrissey who cites this here) are doing a great job, but few will listen.

The sequester requires agencies to make across-the-board cuts and does not allow them the flexibility to make targeted cuts. Congress and the White House would have to agree on a bill to replace the sequester if they want to make the cuts more targeted.

Read more: http://thehill.com/blogs/on-the-money/budget/284213-cantor-obama-offering-false-choices-on-sequester#ixzz2Lm7OcWbr

The above shows that the design of the sequester bill is preventing targeted cuts which Cantor says could solve all the problems. Truth is zero does not want targeted cuts and probably has never had a question on such. He can't demagogue us or the sequester if the cuts were targeted.
Bottom line hes campaigning again,this time not running for election just running against us, and its all political.
Never have we had such a loser potus.

Because in his entire political career, Obama only wins by destroying his opposition. This is just another tactic to utterly destroy the Republicans before the 2014 elections.

Brilliant post and you are 100% correct.

Zero couldn't run a govt. if he had to! That's val/jar's job. He's a puppet monkey with the bent axel pulling his political strings. The guy will never stop campaigning because that's all he was ever brainwashed to do.

IMHO, no one on his side ever thought he would win re-election. So that's why he still campaigns. Its all he was taught.

Here is what is going on, The leftist know that 80 Billion is nothing. But if they can get the Republicans to cave on ONLY 80 Billion then NO spending cuts are ever, can ever, going to happen. O’bastard and Co. are going in for the kill. Their fear is if the 80 Billion cuts happen and there is little or no pain(which we all know there won’t be) they will look like the lying fools that they are. O’bastard is playing a high stakes game of poker and placed a big bet.

I agree with the above. The way the sequester was designed there is no targeted spending allowed. This was probably done on purpose. This allows the left to purposely screw over numerous departments of govt. and do it with overall relatively small cuts in the overall budget, 2.4%. Then they blame us with LIV's buying it all.

It's basically more of the same.

axel has us boxed into a corner politically on issue after issue and we never seem to get out of the box.

A pox on both their houses.

We need a peaceful revolution where all of these idiots are driven from office.
