Obama's sequester worst Idea ever so says Obama

[Drumcollie]

If Congress allows this meat-cleaver approach to take place, it will jeopardize our military readiness, it will eviscerate job-creating investments in education and energy and medical research, it won't consider whether we're cutting some bloated program that has outlived its usefulness or a vital service that Americans depend on every single day," Obama said. "It doesn't make those distinctions."

and in 2011

As Bob Woodward notes in his definitive account of the debt ceiling negotiations, such a bargain was within reach in July 2011, before President Obama destroyed it.

Obama's proposed cuts to FEMA include the following (emphasis added):

•Flood Hazard Mapping and Risk Analysis Program - $8 million
•State and Local Emergency Programs (non-defense) - $183 million
•State and Local Emergency Programs (defense) - $5 million
•United States Fire Administration and Training - $4 million
•Salaries and Expenses (non-defense) - $75 million
•Salaries and Expenses (defense) - $7 million
•Disaster Relief - $580 million
•Emergency Food and Shelter - $10 million
•Radiological Emergency Preparedness Program - $3 million
•National Pre-disaster Mitigation Fund - $3 million

Why do you think that all of a sudden Obama is yelling about what sequester will do to the country? It's because he knows it's his idea and that if it gets layed at his feet, he is toast.

If it's "the worst idea ever", as the top poster claims, then WHY did Republicans vote for it, OVERWHELMINGLY?

Riddle me that, ORR.

It's simple the Republican see it as the only way to get the cuts they wanted but Obama wouldn't allow. The best part of it is that the can lay the sequester at Obama's feet.

Hey ORR and Drummy, if the sequester was such a bad idea, why did 213 republicons vote for it? The list includes McCain, Ryan, Cantor, McConnell, and Paul just to name a few. If it goes down there won't be as many republicons in the Congress after 2014.
