Which would be true if the second and third had actually said “No” instead of “Okay, this much. Now it’s your turn.”

Sequester was hatched within Obama’s Staff. Obama demanded Sequester be part of The Spending Bill betting the Republicans would not sign on because it would deeply cut defense spending.
Obama signed off on his idea of the sequester and now blames Republicans for his idea.

Bob is 1000% Correct, none of the three will agree to put petty differences aside for the good of the nation.
The one in the middle panel controlled The House and Senate from January 2007 to December 2010, and for this four year span, they failed to do their job and pass a required Budget, no, they started ‘kicking the can down the road.’ What they did to keep paying the bills was increase the debt ceiling.
The Democrats lost control of the House in the 2010 Mid-Term Elections, and they once again failed to pass a budget, instead, they passed it on the incoming Republican Controlled House.
Had the Democrats done their jobs and passed budgets from January 2007 to December 31, 2010, we would not be in the soup we’re in today.
News Flash! I do not watch Fox News, I have no idea what is said on Fox News. I base my opinions on what I see on NBC News and online in my local liberal newspaper as well as very liberal internet websites.

O.K.prior to the sequester the GOP (Boehner) said yes to cutting the military spending and another hot topic just to get Obama to sign it along with the Dems. Now the sequester is in effect the GOP wants to add in only the things they cut. Forgetting the sharing the load idea. Why am I not surprised. The GOP spend 4 hours a day fund raising for themselves. (Vice President Gore speaking in San Francisco last month told us that when the new GOP members of congress and the house come in, they spend their first day in a meeting telling them how to spend 25 hours a week fundraising so they can get elected again). Now I believe that but what fries me the most is the GOP wasting my tax dollars by not doing the job we elected them to do. I pay their salary for 8 hours a day and not working to fund raise the funds they personally use to get reelected. Oh wait a minute, all the GOP Senators are Millionaires. Funny not all the Dems are. When you have only 4 hours a day to work it’s no wonder you have nothing to show for it. The GOP have spent the last few years doing the least amount possible. Sad.
