Re sequester - Obama needs to put his big boy

By: Jake Sherman and Jonathan AllenFebruary 27, 2013 11:31 PM EST It’s not only the size of the sequester that has House Republicans fretting. It’s not like the GOP expects the stock market to plummet or furloughs across the federal government to drive up unemployment. House Republicans fear the massive spending cuts set to take effect Friday will result in Congress continuing to cede its constitutional power of the purse. Republicans are fretting that the $85 ...

From the NY Times regarding targeted smart versus dumb (sequestered-mandated 8% to everything) cuts: "Last week, a group of five former deputy defense secretaries — essentially the Pentagon’s chief operating officers — called for a “bottom up” review that reassesses the need for each major program and weapons system, saying this was an opportunity to accomplish cuts that have long been delayed, after a decade in which the American national security budget has nearl ...

is going to keep Nancy from visiting the troops in Afghanistan this year for Mother's day. Who on earth would want a visit from her on Mother's Day, except maybe her son, if she had one, and even that's kind of iffy. Besides, didn't Obama promise we'd be out of there 5 years ago? What'd I miss? ...

IMF Says Sequester Hurting U.S. Economy, Delaying Recovery As much as half of U.S. economic growth this year has been slashed due to tax increases and indiscriminate federal spending cuts known as sequestration, according to a sobering new forecast by the International Monetary Fund, which urged lawmakers to repeal the cuts. Risks to U.S. growth are "modestly tilted to the downside," the IMF said in its annual report on the nation's economy, as a reduction of $85 billion in government exp ...

FOX NEWS INSIDER - President Obama has accused Republicans of blocking efforts to avoid the automatic spending cuts set to go into effect March 1. Fox and Friends asked Judge Andrew Napolitano whether Obama can decide where the cuts should go into effect, since Congress has not passed a budget. Napolitano explained that the sequester is not a reduction in spending, but actually just slowing down the rate of spending increases. He said Obama has an obligation to keep the most critical areas o ...

Despite doomsday warnings from the White House and lawmakers on both sides that hundreds of thousands would lose their jobs as a result of the sequester, it turns out the budget cuts have only led to one job being lost among 23 federal agencies. Now Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., is demanding answers as to why the Obama administration repeatedly warned taxpayers that the $85.3 billion in spending cuts, which went into effect in March 2013, would threaten hundreds of thousands of jobs. The findings w ...

(Paul Krugman, winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, from the NY Times) was a really bad idea. Here’s how it happened: Republicans engaged in unprecedented hostage-taking, threatening to push America into default by refusing to raise the debt ceiling unless President Obama agreed to a grand bargain on their terms. Mr. Obama, alas, didn’t stand firm; instead, he tried to buy time. And, somehow, both sides decided that the way to buy time was to create a fiscal doomsday machine tha ...

We know that with the economy weakening, the GOP renegades in the House threaten to depress and destabilize it further by shutting the government down to get attention, and this is really small potatoes compared to that, but still...it's bad.

Francis Collins, the remarkable scientist heading up the agency, has said that the sequester is devastating medical research: ...

Commentary from the Washington Post: "There’s been a good deal of chatter to the effect that Republicans still retain leverage in the sequester fight, because some of them are willing to let the sequester happen. But Politico reports that GOP resolve is cracking, with GOPers privately conceding that they’d prefer to reach a deal, because the politics of allowing deep spending cuts, a gutting of defense, and a major hit to the economy are too dangerous. Of course, GOP aides ...

and other "threats" are made about closing down this and that. When taxpayers are tightening their belts even further and cutting back on extras...and while Obama tells the American people "we" all have to make sacrifices, while he goes golfing in Florida and his wife goes to Aspen....Biden just cost the taxpayers $1 MILLION for a 2-night stay in Europe....yet no one on this board seems upset about that. He met with heads of state but still....half a million dollars and 136 rooms for one h ...

The commutation of Chelsea Manning’s prison term will forever be a blot on President Obama’s legacy. Just as the pardon granted Marc Rich by President Clinton on his last day in office became a totem of the odious pay-to-play money grubbing of Bill and Hillary, l’affaire Manning will be an enduring reminder of Obama’s constant pandering to special voter groups and mindless adherence to a progressive agenda. It will also stand as testimony to President Obama’s questionable fealty to ...

This is a quite a long list. Enjoy! Please note OBAMA's words in quotes from OBAMA interviews, speeches, all freely stated nby OBAMA. ABC News year event 1995 In his memoir, Obama writes of one of the watershed moments of his racial awareness — time and again in remarkable detail. It is a story about a Life magazine article that influenced him. The report was about a black man who tried to bleach his skin white. When Obama was told no such article c ...

Some Obama supporters are getting tired of waiting. I don't blame them. I'm tired of waiting too. What Has Obama Done for African Americans? by Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor President Obama’s campaign operatives claim they now have a message for Black America, after more than two years of “I got nothin’ for you, man.” Blacks have their own page on the White House blog, but filling it up with substantive news may prove difficult. “F ...

You know.. really.. the guy didn't stand a chance. I've heard from seemingly normal folks that he was: 1. The anti-Christ. 2. A Muslim from Kenya. 3. The birth certificate. 4. He's going to turn the good ol' US of A into a Socialist country. 5. He'll take away our guns. The only thing wrong with Obama is that he hasn't stood up to the republicans. The fella needs a little bit of the ol' Cheney (who giv ...

I just heard that today Obama signed the Tribal Law and Order Act. I may not know what this bill means in total, but my understanding is that it is to support justice on the reservations against violent crimes. I'll read more about it, but what I'm seeing so far of it I think it's a good thing. I have stated in the past if I feel he does something good I will post here and that's what I'm doing. I think this is a good thing (at least from what ...
