There is no ‘finale’ to O’s crisis creation.

The pox on both houses result is well earned and a disappointment to ‘fans’. However, shouldn’t there be a spot giving some credit to the “NBA Commissioner” of this league? The houses have been effectively on strike for four years. It has only been in the last two weeks where we’ve seen Mr. Obama reaching out to ALL of the players instead of a few ‘coaches’. This country needs a winning season and the fans need to see some game that can give them the sense of pride we want.

The so-called Republicans may be non-existent; the conservatives are too obtuse; the liberals are too objective.
Our President has now "reached out " to all; but the result will be the same.
NO DEAL.
Hopefully the tea-party will fade away and some good can be done in 2015.

It is really funny that Obama proposed the sequester, insisted that it be passed…and now it is the fault of Congress. It is proof that most voters don’t pay attention to history.

Hey let’s not forget to add the miscreant who thought of this sequestration in the first place, then got his Democratically controlled Senate to pass it, and after the GOP controlled House passed it, he signed it into law! So, who is really at fault here and who is doing his level best (worst?) to blame it on everybody but himself?

And then Obama took the Repubs out to dinner. I believe they are in collusion.

.
hahahahaha. We wish.

the only reason Obama met with Republicans is because it became clear to him that his lies about the sequester were starting to backfire on him.
Number one lie"

Actually Ansonia,
Mr. Obama’s aide, Mr. Sperling proposed it after the Obama/Boenor negotiation failed and Mr. McConnell’s “Plan B” failed. Mr. Obama it “technically” correct in that if Congress had not passed the proposed legislation PROPOSED by an aide, he would not have signed it. That said—-
Mr. Obama should have been reaching out to the opposition starting in 2009; he should have quietly, and if necessary publicly, admonished Ms. Pelosi for being rude to Republicans when they were in the minority.

The sequester is going to create unnecessary hardships in an effort to make very important corrections, but in unfocused/untargeted manner that will still permit way too much waste/fraud/abuse/loopholes/etc to continue to unnecessarily drain public funds.

It would be nice if any public official found guilty of lying to the public could be charged and punished to one degree or another. It would certainly limit the “debates” we hear from Congress and force them to actually use facts instead of opinion.
To say Mr. Obama lied is a matter of degree and fails to address the lies both parties have used to get us to this point – the point to where good neighbors are divided by policy instead of uniting them. But a United people would be harder to manipulate.
