actually a bill was voted down yesterday that would have given obama expanded authority to use his discretion about where the budget cuts occur

ie, saltmarsh mouse studies could be defunded so teachers could keep their jobs

However, part of Congress voted it down because obama said he would veto it - the magic potus refuses to leave fingerprints on any decision about where and what to cut.

The sequester was crafted by zerO’s advisors to be so bad, so heavily weighted against DoD, they assumed the GOP would roll over and never let it go into effect

The other part of Congress voted yesterday's bill down giving Barry more power because they figured instead of forcing the man-child to do his job, he would just abuse it

It is now up to the House to tell the president what must be cut in very specific line item language. It is easy to do, everybody knows where waste and unnecessary spending resides.

Let the House pass the very specific bill and then have the Senate reject it. That is the ir constitutional function. All this Fox News supported transfer talk fails to trealize just who is in control. It is the House.

The cuts were a 10% reduction across the board but it ended up being a math trick because the “sequester” was delayed so the actual cuts are really much smaller. The “meat cleaver” was wielded by his handpicked appointees which means it is what he wants but it gives him plausible dependability, like when the DHS loosed the jailed felon illegals. Obama could stop this at any time by ordering his people to cut low-profile programs but he chose the path of most pain that offers his party the most photo ops.
