   Of course the House gave O the option of targeting the cuts, but he refused because he wants maximum damage to the American people so he can once again blame somebody else for his failures.

   Also, if we the people, don’t know the facts, we will believe Obama, that all the suffering is caused by Republicans. That will ensure a Democrat majority Congress in 2014. He’s just got to keep us suffering for another year.
   Then, no holds barred. America is at its lowest, and we the uninformed people will be convinced that only Democrats can save us (from the mess they created.)

   So what is your response? Or are you just in the bag for Obama no matter what he does?

   Republicans certainly need to bear their fair share of responsibility for the sequester, but so should the Democrats in the 112th Congress. They voted 45 Yea, 6 Nay in the Senate on the sequester. Oddly, 19 Republicans voted against sequester.

   Conveniently omitting the fact that the House would have obstructed our Presidents options as they have done so often in the past..
   So, this is just another lie from the “right”…You may well be able to fool fools, Conserve…

   More witless bus bunny rhetoric from the faux noise black hole of the absurd.
   Your sources are as usual a bit partisan and in reviewing them they say little but their intent is obviously questionable and don’t prove the president is directly complicit in your claims.
   -
   The first toady link reuses the $6? trillion debt increase as solely the presidents fault yet the fact that in Jan 2009 before he took office the CBO projected the debt to hit $12.7 trillion for 2009 based on the policies from the cheney/Bush reign, it actually hit $12.4 trillion.
   The current debt is at $16.65 trillion minus the 2009 debt of $12.4 and the actually increase is only $4.25 trillion and most of that was still caused by the policies of the prior administration which the repubbies refuse to allow any review or revision of.
   -
   Since your sources don’t substantiate your claims and your obviously a bus bunny who is addicted to the faux noise bus’s exhaust pipe of rhetoric! you can rejoin your toady compatriots constopatedgov, lil orphen ansy, snotty pms and zit for brains in blowing smoke rings out your neither-regions at the back of the uranis bus.

   Don’t forget to mention the fact that it was just before christmas, the house refused to extend the unemployment benefits or pay the country’s current bills unless they got the cheney/Bush tax cuts extended!

    @ansonia

    The US Senate, not the House, may want to obstruct Barack Obama’s option to kill anyone he chooses with tax-payer funded drone aircraft.
    .
    Is that a good enough example?

    The GOP is offering Obama the “opportunity” to take the blame for whatever gets cut. Nice move! Obama is still trying to get the GOP to negotiate on revenue. That’s the sticking point. The President has been trying to reach out to individual Republicans, which is an encouraging sign.
    
    If we really want to make a long term cut in the deficit, we have to increase revenue, which is still far below historical norms. We need sensible cuts, but we need more revenue. It’s also not like the Sequester cuts are enough by themselves. They don’t deal with healthcare, which is the biggest driver behind the long term deficit.
