D.C. caught off guard by Obama sequester vow
President Barack Obama startled Washington during Monday night's foreign policy debate when he said billions in automatic Pentagon cuts will not happen" a line that could weaken his bargaining power during an epic spending and tax fight expected when Congress returns. Obama was responding to criticism from Republican rival Mitt Romney that American national security is at risk if the defense cuts are triggered in early January. "First of all, the sequester is not something I proposed, it's something that Congress proposed," Obama said. "It will not happen."
Is he lying deliberately or is he simply delusional?
I guess I’m dumber than a rock, but will somebody tell me the meaning of the word “sequester” as it’s used in this situation?
Fox said that Axelrod was “spinning” the president’s statement from “will” to “SHOULD.”
We’ll have to see what the MSM decides that we heard the president say. (sarc off)
