Actually, this is Obama claiming that he’s smarter than others. Listen to him, he’s smart.

Say, Barry - the dumb cut was YOUR idea.

I know most people have forgotten that but I haven’t.

Yet he was able to command all federal agencies to cut where the public would feel it most.

Hey 0!
You can start with a Sea Quester (deep six) of those golf clubs.

My plan to save a trillion dollars (over the next ten years): you and Pluggs pay for your own damn vacations.

Not a damn thing “dumb” about nobama’s sequester cuts. Well planned to inflict pain so as we will collectively cry to the Conservatives to give us our gubmit back.

Its going to take much more than EVICTING nobama’s herd from the WhiteyHut. Once they are out it’ll require nuclear level roach fumigation and a gigantic Holmes on Homes rebuild.

This ranks right up there with the guy who killed his parents, then asked for mercy because he was an orphan.

Let’s review the bidding:
* the sequester was proposed by Obama to break the impass - GOP wanted some (smart) cuts, the Dems wanted no cuts.
* the GOP offered to pass a bill to allow Obama to move money around to make the across the board cuts into “smart cuts”, and Obama refused it.
* and NOW Obama complains that the squester cuts weren’t “smart”.

BTW - the “cuts” were not cuts — they were cuts in the rate of growth (e.g., from 6% line item growth instead of the original 8% growth), and we should be very careful to always explain the difference. Just like we should always distinguish “cutting taxes” from “cutting tax rates”, especially when cutting tax rates usually results in increasing tax revenues.
