Sequester in Perspective

[SharonL]

Which agency is that?

Amazing that people agree with you when you have not presented any facts to investigate! That is some power when all one has to say is 'Obama bad' and people trip all over themselves in agreement.

I'll have to find it - just heard it this morning - I'll go looking.

The president could not be too worried about the cuts when he can take an expensive trip to Fla and play golf with Tiger Woods and Michelle takes a trip to CO and Obama goes on another campaign trip this morning - each at $180,000 per hour.

How do you know it costs $180,000 an hour?

Or we know what she's referring to.

It must be a 'collective' thing. LOL

For someone that always has a question for every piece of news here, you seem not to hear a lot that is in the news. This has been projected ever since Obama has been flying all over the country - I've seen it time after time. I'll go look for it in print.

Thanks Rion - you beat me to it - I should have looked it up before posting because it is always questioned.

20 million saved already and we still blame Obama for something!

Nice

I don't watch the news because it is all biased. I read the news from multiple sources (liberal and conservative) because I can investigate the stories.

All I can say is it cost money when all the other Presidents did it. I didn't mind then and I don't mind now.

I watch Air Force jets take off everyday on training missions which cost us millions and millions every day. Should we cut out these flights as well?

Just out of curiousity why are you picking on him when both Bushs and reagan and every other president has done the same thing and if I remember right Bush did it quite often.

Not sure if they understand that this attack on Obama while giving the other Presidents a pass is the essence of disrespecting the office of the President, something they say they never do. The claim is they disrespect Obama but not the office of President.

Sequester is freeing the illegals in custody now. DARN YOU SEQUESTER, YOU MAD MAN/WOMAN/THING!

...wait, she's picking on Obama? Poor little guy...

Seriously though, Obama gets blasted because he's constantly preaching to others to make sacrifices for the common good. It's the same reason Al Gore gets blasted for his ginormous carbon foot print and that one anti-gay Republican who was caught in the men's bathroom. People loath hypocrites.

Somehow I suspect your definition of "conservative" would actually be well left of center to most Americans...

When the president doesn't appear to know that one of the departments he's whining is going to get hurt by cuts doesn't exist you don't think that's an issue to bring up?

Either he's a moron and has no idea what's happening in his own administration or he's scaremongering.

What a joke! He runs a country and you expect him to know everything. There is just no pleasing some.

20 million cut and all you do is call him a moron or out of touch

Who complains every time I ask for evidence! I rarely get the requested evidence. Usually somebody else carries her water.

They showed Bush and Regan sitting behind the desk once in awhile. They governed. Bush also traveled to his ranch to work to get away from the fog in DC - he didn't just go on vacations.

If there was a disaster someplace, he stayed and walked through it. He didn't fly off and pretend nothing was wrong and knew nothing about it, such as Libya.

You are wrong.

And you think that Obama doesnt work as well? As for leaving how about Boenher and the others leaving Washington, the brush works both ways
