Title: Sequester, Who Started It
Post by: Solar on February 22, 2013, 03:31:29 PM
You decide.
They're all short.

Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT): Sequestration Was Obama's Idea (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAd1trp0rgk#)
President Obama: I will veto any effort to get rid of the sequester cuts (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMZC-Zifx90#)
And one more.

Yep!
Of course he is lying, but no one in the media is calling him on it, which is why I started this thread.
And libs still think the media isn't bias? :rolleyes:

OBAMA/Husein Lied!!!!

The finger-pointing began during the third presidential debate last fall, on Oct. 22, when President Obama blamed Congress. "The sequester is not something that I've proposed," Obama said. "It is something that Congress has proposed."

The White House chief of staff at the time, Jack Lew, who had been budget director during the negotiations that set up the sequester in 2011, backed up the president two days later.

"There was an insistence on the part of Republicans in Congress for there to be some automatic trigger," Lew said while campaigning in Florida. It "was very much rooted in the Republican congressional insistence that there be an automatic measure."

The president and Lew had this wrong. My extensive reporting for my book "The Price of Politics" shows that the automatic spending cuts were initiated by the White House and were the brainchild of Lew and White House congressional relations chief Rob Nabors — probably the foremost experts on budget issues in the senior ranks of the federal government.

Obama personally approved of the plan for Lew and Nabors to propose the sequester to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.). They did so at 2:30 p.m. July 27, 2011, according to interviews with two senior White House aides who were directly involved.

The thing that spins my brain is how the MSM just goes with the flow of how it was the republican congresses fault, never a mention of Oblamer being for it before he was against it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So there you have it, media as usual is carrying the water for the left, it isn't that they are so much backing the claims, it's their need to ignore the facts, much like they did when Husein ran or POTUS, none of them, along with the DNC did a real vetting of his background.

What we have here is validated proof the the media is in the tank for the socialists, and many of you actually fell for the hype that his idea of "Fundamentally Changing America" was the right direction, instead what we all got was the biggest expansion of Govt since FDR and further left as in Socialism.

So when Mid Term elections roll around, show the left you aren't as stupid as they think you are, show them you've been paying attention and will send a message by taking the power out of the hands of the leftists and giving it back to the people, where it belongs.

You made a mistake, that's human, it's now your responsibility as adults to own up and correct it.
Thank you...
