For Obama and his cabal of fear mongering big government phonies over the sequester scare tactics they employed. The republicans held the line and the cuts were made. Regardless of how insignificant they were they are a step in the right direction. Obama went nuclear to try and avoid them and in the end they worked out well.

Now , hopefully the pubs hold out on the debt ceiling and put obamas feet to the flames. No new taxes and more cuts please

Blows me away all the bullshit they tried to feed the American people over what was nothing more than a reduction in the rate of increase.

Here's a great example of what's fucking wrong with these people.

The budget increases get cut, spending still goes up and these fucks suspend tours of the White House.

WASHINGTON — The White House has been struggling to highlight cutbacks at federal agencies now that the so-called sequester has hit. On Tuesday, it found one close to home.

Tours of the executive mansion will be canceled starting March 9, the White House announced, citing “staffing reductions resulting from sequestration.” The tours will not be rescheduled and the freeze will be in effect “until further notice.”

The cancellation will annoy plenty of tourists who tour the White House after securing their tickets well in advance through their elected representative’s office. It will also certainly annoy those congressional offices that must begin notifying disappointed constituents.

“We very much regret having to take this action, particularly during the popular spring touring season," the White House said in a recorded message on the tour hotline.

QUIZ: How much do you know about sequestration?

Within hours of the announcement, Republicans began to criticize the decision as a stunt. One GOP congressman offered his own solution to the budget cutting at the White House. In an amendment to a bill to fund the government, Texas Rep. Louis Gohmert proposed that none of the money "may be used to transport the president to or from a golf course until public tours of the White House resume."

The automatic budget cuts are a result of a deficit-reduction deal signed into law in 2011. Lawmakers and the White House agreed to the across-the-board cuts, hoping that the prospect of finding $85 billion in immediate savings would spark compromise on a broader deficit and debt-reduction deal. It did not.

In the lead-up to the budget cuts, which kicked in on Friday, the White House tried to pressure Republican lawmakers to reach a deal by highlighting the pain that would come from axing federal services. But its top spokespeople on the matter occasionally overstepped.

PHOTOS: President Obama's past

Education Secretary Arne Duncan on Monday apologized for saying that teachers in a West Virginia school district were receiving “pink slips” because of the budget cuts. The district’s superintendent told the Washington Post that the teachers were receiving transfer notices and the move was not directly related to the federal funding cuts.

Republicans pounced on Duncan’s comments and other claims as examples of the president hyping the cuts for political gain. On Tuesday, the news of the canceled tours prompted similar skepticism among some on the Hill and the GOP-led House administration committee offered tourists an alternative: “House Admin welcomes Americans visiting D.C. to tour Capitol instead," the committee tweeted.

Its a fucking stunt you braindead moron , the budget cuts could have been absorbed with little impact but the Admin wants everyone to see pain being felt to provide a reaction for the future of this fiscal war. You should be irate with Obama over instructing dept heads to make the cuts painfull....but that wont happen because your a fucking antiamerican shill...a partisan hack...and an idiot

Obama looks like a fool trying to make it look worse than it is. These cuts were a drop in the ocean. He knows it but is still trying to make it look like the GOP did something catastrophic.

You guys don't understand politics 101..


Cripes pay attention....even the local mayor of bumfuck understands politics. When you make cuts you start with the library, then the fire dept, then police. Then you close the music programs in the schools and the swimming programs and stop the sports programs, football teams etc.
