The president who cried ‘Sequester!’
American Enterprise, by Marc A. Thiessen

Original Article

Posted By:StormCnter, 3/6/2013 5:42:55 AM

The sequester is only four days old and it has already done untold damage — not to teachers, air traffic controllers, or the military, mind you, but to President Obama’s credibility. Obama has been caught in one misstatement after another about the sequester — from lying to Americans about its origins to exaggerating its impact. Obama is fast becoming the president who cried “Sequester!” And the price he pays for his exaggerations will be lasting. The first untruth came on October 22, 2012, during Obama’s final debate with Mitt Romney, when Obama declared, “The sequester is not something

I am amused at the article saying that the President has lied to us about the sequester.

Where have these people been????

This SOB has lied to us constantly since the day he entered the race 5 years ago.

When are we going to say IMPEACH????

It is quite a spectacle to see this man try to walk back what he has done an blame it on repuboicans. Like a little boy who not only had his hand in the cookie jar, but watched it fall and break.

Rather than have to fess up and be disciplined for lying, the media gives him ANOTHER pass and just dotes on him.

All the while he tries to blame others and say that there should be MORE taxes so he cand subsidize MORE spending--

No taxes are ever cut and as long as certain voting blocks of the populace are given "goodies" to enslave them to loyalty, it is those who do not give out freebies that are deemed liable!

Lying is part of Fauxbama´s basic modus operandi. He says things, forthrightly, then says other things, forthrightly. He assumes that the sheeple won´t know the difference and that the LSM won´t call him out. This time he overplayed his hand.

When you have 8 million or so people who have gotten pink slips over the past 4 years,there aren´t a lot of tears to be shed over gov´t workers getting their share of the pain.

I´d have to think at some level it´s pretty stupid to lay off gov´t workers who contribute dues to the dems campaigns.

the media wants you to believe the entire country is against the republicans but Obama´s approval sinking to 46% belies that.

Still,there´s no tipping point yet and Obama has other tricks up his sleeves. Rush´s theory says,in order for Obama to win he has to inflict pain on other Americans.What a winning strategy that is.

Homeland security should be made to prove sequester cuts led to illegals being released.

FTA
".. White House spokesman Jay Carney was finally forced to admit that “the sequester was one of the ideas put forward, yes, by the president’s team."

Notice even WHEN they admitted they were wrong, they blame it on his TEAM. Not HIM. Obama will never personally take the blame for anything. Some could say that´s because he isn´t capable of doing any of this on his own anyway. I´m sure when they came up with this ploy back in the fall, they never thought the Republicans would stand firm.

I see this man that is sitting in the oval office as a participant of a scheming team. He listens to them from a campaign standpoint since that is all he has ever done. The country is not being led by a President in any shape or form.

His first public lie was that whopper, "Born in Kenya, raised in Indonesia and Hawaii".

Once, just once, I´d love to see Ed Henry knock Obama off his heels, and ask him, "Sir, how did that publicist come to believe you were born in Kenya?"

I think that would make Obamas head spin off, right smack in the middle of the white house presser.

Obama lied, cheated and distorted. That´s a fact. And that´s why we don´t have Romney as president today. I practically wept while listening to Romney on Fox the other day say it´s killing him to not be in the White House. Which is exactly my sentiments every day since November 6.

We will soon see "Predator" drones in the skies over America. We may very well have seen the last large scale Tea Party rally as participants will now be logged and investigated from above.

Don´t besmirch Thiessen and compare him to the dishonest NBC type media.
Thiessen worked for President George Bush
and his first book
" Courting Disaster: How the CIA Kept America Safe
and How Barack Obama Is Inviting the Next Attack " should alarm every American.
I actually think Obama isn´t smart enough to have
come up with the concept of sequestration,
someone else in his administration did
and he just parroted it.
Obama spends his day watching ESPN and movies on cable and then playing basketball and
if the weather permits , golf.
He probably has a 5 minute work day-seriously.
We know that he doesn´t take the DPB and when he´s on Air Force One
he plays cards and then disappears into the bedroom.
The Vanity Fair piece from October 2012 stated that Obama plays a lot more basketball
than was previously known.
In October 2012 Damian Lewis , star of Homeland ( and Band of Brothers ) discussed a dinner
he had with Obama.
" Lewis said: “I asked him how he had time to watch TV when he was supposed to be
running the free world. Obama said: ´Well, Michelle takes the girls out to play tennis
on a Saturday afternoon.
I pretend I´m going to work in the Oval Office and
I turn on the TV in my office and watch Homeland.´”
I pretend to work...unbelievable.

Good concept #5 and your analogy draws a hearty chuckle. Just imagine: what if Bamboozler really didn´t know the sequester is his idea, whether it is from being completely out of the day to day operations/loop, being strung out on: meth, crack, weed or pills like Oxycontin or Xanax, etc.

Anyone who knows someone who has been on Xanax knows what a memory eraser it can be. It´s something to savor/ponder, it´s not out of the question.

There is on thing that I can´t understand. Given the way that Obozo conducts his daily life and the way he is uncapable of governing anything, I wonder why we don´t see or hear of professional mental health people address that in the public forum. This man (if he really is one) is DANGEROUS! To every man, woman, and child in this country. I really don´t know if the country can survive another 4 years of him. There has to be some way to take him down and replace him with someone else. Of course, my solution is to have another revolution. That way, we could correct a good many problems.

I live in a predominantly democrat area. The local newspaper had a front page above the fold article about planned forced "unpaid furlough days" which are alleged as necessary due to the negative impact of Sequestration on a local Army Depot, and then a few pages later, a similar article bemoaning the negative impact of sequestration on the area Head Start Program. The author (of both articles)apparently didn´t even bother to contact a republican lawmaker for comment, although 3 democrat lawmakers are profusely quoted castigating the "Republican (House) majority" for these unfair cuts.

I am always amazed — amazed — when anyone has the gall to dismiss, even laugh off, the suggestion that the right to keep and bear arms is a smart and necessary provision for a free society. Human history (not to mention current events!) is too chock-full of examples of nefarious regimes violently abusing and controlling their people, and the freedoms enjoyed by American citizens are the exception, not the rule. During a committee hearing of the Oregon state senate in considering their own state package of gun-control legislation last week, one testifier reminded the assembled lawmakers of one

Andrew Breitbart has become an iconic and beloved figure on the right, so it’s hard to imagine his eponymous empire could be in danger of losing conservative support just one year after his passing. But if recent events are a harbinger of things to come, that’s at least a possibility. It all started last October, when BuzzFeed’s McKay Coppins penned a controversial piece, arguing the outlet was “plagued by an unusual degree of disorganization and rampant infighting…” The report might have been easily dismissed, had it not been soon revealed that Breitbart.com’s Dana Loesch was suing Breitbart.com

They stood firm when in power, and they took risks to get there, challenging the conventional wisdom and the respective establishments of their nations or institutions.

Frustration is taking its toll in the liberals’ war against guns. President Obama, pushing his broad gun control agenda, said we should be ashamed if we’ve forgotten the Newtown shooting so soon. The New York Times opined that Obama is being shouted down by the “gun lobby,” even though he and Biden had been crisscrossing the country “…making a forceful case for a package of laws that would reduce gun violence.” That, of course, is the media narrative on gun control. For every issue there is a narrative: a set of assumptions and boundaries of thought

Is it time to give up the fight against Obamacare? That’s a question some conservative health-care experts, pundits, and — more quietly — politicians are asking. In the first years after its passage, opponents had hoped that the Supreme Court would strike down the law or that a new president would sign its repeal before most of it took effect. But the Supreme Court decided to modify a few of its provisions instead of striking it down, and President Obama was reelected. Repeal is almost certainly off the table for four years. Obamacare will continue to be implemented.

As the bipartisan Gang of Eight works to complete a comprehensive immigration reform bill, there has been a growing consensus among Senate Republicans that the bill — so far seen by no one outside the Gang — should be the subject of multiple hearings and extended consideration inside the Senate Judiciary Committee. But on Sunday there were signs that consensus does not extend to the Republicans inside the Gang. Appearing on CBS, longtime immigration reform advocate and Gang member Sen. John McCain suggested the immigration issue is so familiar to lawmakers that multiple hearings will not be necessary.

AS a Texas-raised journalist, I can tell you two things with confidence about my native state. One, its economy has been humming nicely for years. Two, this appears to greatly offend a certain breed of Northern writer, several of whom have descended on the state in an attempt to rebut stories of a “Texas miracle.” (Snip) “Texas has a long tradition of looking outside the government for support — and often finding it. That predates the Texas revolution and was reinforced by the rise of the cattle kingdom and the oil booms.”

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs.

This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. (Snip) Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home. There are 5 million of these residences in the U.S., up from

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

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.

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

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class.

Annette Funicello, the dark-haired darling of TV´s “The Mickey Mouse Club” in the 1950s who further cemented her status as a pop-culture icon in the ´60s by teaming with Frankie Avalon in a popular series of “beach” movies, died Monday.
