| President Obama preemptively blamed congressional Republicans for the next six months of economic weakness, saying they didn’t avert sequestration because lawmakers “paint horns on [his] head” rather than negotiate. “We shouldn’t be making a series of dumb, arbitrary cuts to things that businesses depend on and that workers depend on,” Obama said today after meeting with top lawmakers this morning. “Every time we get a piece of economic news over the next month, the next two months, the next six months, we’ll know that that economic news could have been better if Congress had not

So Obie, how is it that your decisions become someone else´s fault?
Not possible.
Stand up like a MAN and take your hits!
Of course advice to get Obie to act like a man are a waste of breath!

He is in his idea of power heaven, holding forth, answering "questions" with lengthy propaganda monologues, blaming Republicans, setting up people to be frightened for at least the next six months, setting classes and groups of Americans against each other. In total radical community activist mode.
One of the scariest performances I have ever seen.

What a total liar. He refused to negotiate and his henchman Reid has failed to pass a budget in over four years. If he had, we would have had negotiations with the House and we would have had a budget and would likely not be in the situation we are in now. The problem lies directly in the lap of this empty suit president and his corrupt party leaders. Obama has not led on a single thing his entire presidency and does not govern, only campaigns. But then you can do that when the corrupt media has his back.

Blaming the GOP for the sequestration is only Obama´s first salvo to taint the Republican brand over the next two years with the objective of getting a Democrat majority in the House of Representatives. Keep in mind that "Fast and Furious" is already ancient history and "Benghazigate" is fading fast. Meanwhile, I am amazed (though not surprised) at how many of my MSM dependent friends and neighbors have no idea how small a cut in federal spending the sequestration actually involves. Alinsky is alive and well and living in a large, white house in Washington. The GOP will learn to fight tooth and nail or find itself, come 2014, without a majority to its name. And what are the odds of the GOP learning this lesson? I don´t know; the last time I asked this question, my bookie stopped taking my calls.

He has discretion over what gets cut. The GOP tried to give him even more power over what gets cut. He could make this very painless, but he won´t. He wants it to hurt.
If the GOP doesn´t make the case ... and keep making it ... that Obama chooses what gets cut, they need to disband.

And the essence of the corruption he was attacking was the money. So, number one, in ´08, he is the first who refuses public financing for his campaign, he raises a billion dollars.

And we can reduce our deficit, stabilize our debt, and do so without sacrificing the kinds of investments that are going to be required to grow. During his remarks, the president spoke of the

It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice.

President Obama is eager to build public support for his health care overhaul in the few months remaining before its implementation, but waning enthusiasm from Democrats threatens his effort right out of the gate. Two-thirds of Democrats now believe Obama´s health care reforms will either hurt them personally or have no effect on their daily lives, a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday shows. In comparison, just 27 percent of Democratic respondents said the reforms would help them. The president has long struggled to convince independent and Republican-leaning voters that his health care blueprint would lower premiums and expand insurance coverage.

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

The budget President Barack Obama will submit on April 10 will contain a proposal that would prohibit individuals from accumulating more than $3 million in Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and tax-preferred retirement accounts. According to a White House statement, the Obama administration believes the current rules allow some wealthy individuals "to accumulate many millions of dollars in these accounts, substantially more than is needed to fund reasonable levels of retirement saving." "The budget would limit an individual’s total balance across tax-preferred accounts to an amount sufficient to finance an annuity of not more than $205,000 per
