I keep hearing the GOP talking point about "Obama's sequester." My question to Republicans is if you think the sequester is such a bad thing and you blame Obama for it, why not just bring up a vote to get rid of "Obama's sequester?"

More to the point, why did so many of them vote for the very same thing they're now blaming Obama for?

Why exactly did you feel you needed to start a new topic considering this is being discussed already elsewhere?

republicans were trying to show that they could work with obama, which is why we got the sequester. the problem though is that obama is trying to blame the republicans for his idea. the other problem is that harry reid is obamas lap dog in the senate and unless the republicans send up a bill that obama likes, it gets tabled in the senate and nothing gets done. and then obama blames the republicans for doing nothing, and the obamanots believe what ever their dear leader tells them.

Why don't you ask Obama, if he think's it is such a bad thing, like he was lyin' about the other day, why doesn't he make some modifications instead of flapping his big mouth about all the drastic cuts it will have. What a load of bovine excrement!

Some sort of need for attention?

Obama controls the floor in the House and Senate?

I wasn't aware of those powers considering Obama is in the executive branch.

If you are going to take the time to respond, at least take the time to read the article that proves you wrong.
