You seem to have things backwards. The sequestration was a concept proposed by Obama, subsequently supported by Obama using the bully pulpit, now using that same bully pulpit to pin the blame on Republicans.So his plan either saves the economy or destroys it. Alright fair enough. Either way it seems like the Republican talking holes are trying to pin the term "Sequester" on the Obama Administration anyway (like they had nothing to do with it.) So if he does take credit for it what do you think Republicans should do?

TruthI know it's brilliant isn't it! Boehner got "98% of what I wanted" in the deal including the automatic cuts they demanded (which became the 'Sequester' proposal) as a condition of raising the 'debt ceiling' before the end of 2012) and it still wasn't enough. So Obama sets him and the other Republicans up by claiming it was originally their idea (since it was). KNOWING that even though it was their idea originally they would act like they're against it simply because Obama was for it. IF the Sequester starts causing damage it will hurt the "do-nothing" Republican House (everyone knows who sets the budget). IF the Sequester actually works and Boehner tries to claim credit they'll simply play clips on the news of Boehner lying through his teeth. It is hilarious!

Are you keeping your tires inflated properly? I've heard that helpsAll along he wanted higher taxes on those making more than 250,000 a year and lets not forget the poor oil companies that get big breaks even though they are making 24 billion a quarter while us poor people struggle to keep the gas tank filled
How much do oil companies make on a gallon of gas? Is it 4 cents, or thereabouts?The oils companies have nothing to do with the sequester.
But the government DOES have a large impact on the price of gas: 18 cents per gallon Federal on top of an average of 30 cents a gallon for states.

If the sequester was such a bad idea, why did Obama come up with it, sign it into law, and threaten to veto any republican effort to water it down? The truth is that the sequester isnt really a big deal despite what the pied piper of panic pretends it is. A 2% reduction in a proposed increase is insignificant, and the fact that people are spending so much time discussing it is embarrasing.I know it's brilliant isn't it!
