Now that the sequester is upon us and the world hasn’t ended, notwithstanding the dire warnings of the president and his minions, let’s examine some facts. In spite of the administration’s attempt to silence the truth-telling critics, President Obama did first present this option and there were no “revenues” involved in the agreement.
Both Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton dealt with the government shutting down, and they both vowed to keep certain important facets of government running — the kind of vital programs and services that are part of the doom-and-gloom scare tactics being deployed by the president and repeated in the media.

HEY: flash!! Obama won his second election, during the Great Recession, contrary to the hopes of crash-the-economy Republicans. It is about time that the Obama-bashing was throttled back, pal.
Wanna feel better? Go get yourself replays of Mitt this last weekend on Fox displaying that churlish charm and chilling enthusiasm about how, gosh, he just wishes he were President. His sour grapes and delusions would go well with your Obama Derangement Disorder.
He won, so he has carte blanche to run the country into the ground? I suppose you kept your mouth shut through 8 years of Bush because he won, right?
I got news for eastbrewster..."dissention is patriotic", remember??
Right now, Obama and Janet Napolitano allow a Federally-Sponsored jailbreak of illegal immigrants.
And, Obama, while claiming that he has to cut the Defense dept budget due to the Sequester, sends $1.5 BILLION to the vehemently anti-Israel Mohammed Morsi. Also Obama and Kerry are authorizing the sale of 20 fighter bombers to Egypt.
And right now, White House has suspended White House tours because of the Sequester. Even though the tour guides are UNPAID VOLUNTEERS!
The voters did not elect a president. They elected a perpetual CAMPAIGNER.
Sounds like an accurate description of John Boehner.
Yes, the emporer has been exposed as a fraud. President Obaam has only goal: Democratic control of the House of Reprsentatives after 2014 elections, and every move he makes is geared to the politics of that election. Solving the nations problems, and leading in a diffficult time are far down on his agenda. The nation is being led by a permament campaigner, when it craves serious leadersip. But somehow, I see no shame from the voters who gave us this.
Our president is a celebrity, and his fans will adore him to the end. While our nation declines into a slow and painful death.
