"Obama concluded, "But– but– I’m always amused when people on the one hand say– the sequester doesn’t mean anything and the administration’s exaggerating its effects; and then whatever the specific effects are, they yell and scream and say, “Why are you doin’ that?” Well, there are consequences to Congress not having come up with a more sensible way to reduce the deficit."

Obama may be amused, but we are not amused. Perhaps he is beginning to realize this. Nobody is laughing but him. The party is just about over. It is time to start cleaning up the mess.

Anyone who has children will recognize this tactic. We have heard it hundreds of times from preschoolers. Then when maturity develops we hear it less. One of the signs that the kids are growing up is when they start to admit they screwed up, and correct themselves. America is still waiting for our leader to show leadership. Seems like by now we should have a fully trained and presidential president who can take responsibility.

This is an example of what is so frustrating to me. Obama is SUCH an empty suit. He has an astonishingly abysmal record as president. Inflation is going up. Gas prices at record highs. Unemployment high; employment stagnant. The country is being overrun by invaders over our southern border. He has spent incomprehensiable amounts of money to no affect. He is a proven liar and will not accept responsibility for anything. And, he will fold when confronted as demonstrated here, yet, the leaders on our side seem completely terrified of him! I just don´t get it! Thank God for Rand and Cruz!

How articulate he is! "...whole bunch of families", "...arbitrary stuff". I´m dazzled by his brilliance.

That aside, the Not-my-fault mantra is wearing pretty thin. Besides, cuts to White House tours for kids is not exactly what I´d consider a top priority. More of a diversion.

How about putting more money back into American paychecks, American businesses and the pipeline? -- things we really need.

For the last time, the Secret Service goes where they are told and does what they need to do. They don´t "decide" that there will be no tours. They don´t "decide" anything, beyond the tactical activities of providing security.

How much more of this lying sack of excrement do we have to put up with?

You see, the "balanced way" is to take the $ 1,000,000 golf week-end, but then cancel the tours, and the intelligent way is to use executive orders to violate Constitutional Rights, but let the Secret Service determine who and what gets cancelled.....oh....and Congress of course, yes Congress voted on the tours being cancelled. Yes, Congress executes the running of the Government, that´s why they are called the Executive....well....wait a minute.....

Also, #22 observed: yet, the leaders on our side seem completely terrified of him! I just don´t get it!

They are not terrified of him. They understand that (a) the ENTIRE press corps is in his back pocket, with a few hiccups here and there from Fox News -- which hardly goes after him; and (b) the more they protest the more the IRE of the press is turned on them. Therefore, they (c) just keep plugging along. Look at Paul Ryan´s budget...that´s hardly an example of them being terrified. They are just keeping at it. And, thankfully, Boehner is not giving them a lightning rod by going out there everyday to make himself the story. That would be the worst thing that could happen. Like Obamacare, Obama himself is going to collapse under his own tower of manure that he´s piled up for himself.

Obama gives a boost to the Limbaugh thesis that he cannot be blamed because he is an outsider, not in power, not making decisions. A leader gives credit and takes responsibility but Obama takes credit and gives responsibility.

WH tours and S.S. are paid through DONATIONS and volunteers/congress staff lead the tours. The tab is paid through the foundation set up by Jackie Kennedy when she refurbished the WH through personal donations. The W.H. is considered a museum and NOT paid from the WH budget.
The reduction/Sequester is for the fiscal year 2013/2014 which begins in September 2013. Current expenses in the CR have nothing to do with Sequester.

The President is responsible for the sequester and he had an opportunity to offer leeway to each agency as to where the cuts would be made. He voted PRESENT.

I’m worried about the Supreme Court. I’m worried about how the justices can properly debate same-sex marriage when some don’t even seem to realize that most Americans use the word “gay” now instead of “homosexual”; when Chief Justice John Roberts thinks gays are merely concerned with marriage as a desirable “label,” and when Justice Samuel Alito compares gay marriage to cellphones. The Nine are back there in their Miss Havisham lairs mulling, disconcertingly disconnected. In his zeal to scare people about the “possible deleterious effect” of gay parents adopting, Justice Antonin Scalia did not seem fully

Anti-abortion groups have been trying to re-impose restrictions on abortion rights for 40 years, but the Legislature and governor of North Dakota have taken this attack on women’s reproductive health and freedom to a shocking new low by passing a bill that they must know perfectly well is unconstitutional by any reading of the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision and others since.Under those rulings, full abortion bans are allowable only after fetal viability, which the medical community generally considers to be around 24 weeks into pregnancy. But North Dakota joins a growing list

Quite a few Republicans have been announcing new stages in their “evolution” on same-sex marriage, which is being debated in the Supreme Court today and tomorrow. Senator Rob Portman of Ohio said earlier this month that he was prompted to reverse his position when he learned his son was gay – after a two-year period of reflection that included having his name floated as a potential running mate for Mitt Romney, a staunch opponent of gay marriage.

This is a remarkable moment in American life: A man is killing actual living, gurgling, bouncing babies on an industrial scale – and it barely makes the papers.

Steubenville Rape Guilty Verdict:

It was a sickening crime that fit an all-too-familiar storyline. Young men who turned a night of partying into an ugly sexual assault. A culture in which high school football players are treated like gods and act as if no rules apply. And an innocent young woman who was abused by people she thought were friends and then humiliated. But what made the Steubenville, Ohio, rape case — which ended today with guilty verdicts against Trent Mays and Ma’lik Richmond — different and what made it feel cutting edge is the pervasive role

The world is full of Roman Catholics who long ago stopped following the dogma, doctrine and medieval sexual dictates of the church. But they never lost faith in Francesco, the merchant’s son who spoke to wolves, slept on dirt floors and dined with lepers. That the new pope would take the name of Francis, in honor of the saint from the Umbrian town of Assisi, is the most radical first move by a pontiff in some time. The 12th century mystic is the nature saint, patron of the environment, the poor, the dispossessed.

DETROIT — This city was already sinking under hundreds of millions of dollars in bills that it could not pay when a municipal auditor brought in a veteran financial consultant to dig through the books. A seasoned turnaround man and former actuary with Ford Motor Co., he was stunned by what he found: an additional $7.2 billion in retiree health costs that had never been reported, or even tallied up. “The city must take some drastic steps,” the consultant, John Boyle, warned the City Council in delivering his report at a public meeting in 2005.

During an interview for “This Week,” former Florida governor Jeb Bush told me that he was “in sync” with South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham on the issue of immigration reform. Graham, a key member of the bipartisan group of senators pushing for immigration reform, took Bush to task after the former Florida governor said Monday that he did not support a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants, which is a key component of the plan being pushed by the Senate group. Bush subsequently reversed course and said he could in fact support a plan

Jeb Bush isn’t not running for President. This is big news, even though the next presidential election is several zillion tweets away. It shakes up the political money world, where potential saviors like Chris Christie and Marco Rubio may find it much harder to fill their treasuries. It may tee up yet another of those Bush-vs.-Clinton death matches that are so entertaining. But it is potentially more important for those who’d like to see the Republican Party evolve past its current juvenility. Bush is thoughtful, and he thinks big. Asked on Morning Joe to name

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter.

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

The Obama White House is scrambling to blame Friday’s abysmal March jobs numbers on the sequester’s trimming of the rate of growth in federal budgets that have yet to fully commence. After the Labor Department announced that a mass exodus of 663,000 workers left the U.S. workforce last month and that job creation fell 112,000 jobs short of projections, Obama’s top economic adviser Alan B. Krueger, took to the White House blog to blame the sequester: It is important to bear in mind that the March household and payroll surveys are the first monthly surveys to look

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. 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
