Wow, a lot of substance in that rant. Typical lib playbook: no response, resort to insults.

You could probably just answer every question with this answer: "They are more concerned with getting re-elected than anything else."

And that goes for both parties.

Why do liberals insist on trying to absolve Barack Obama of creating the sequester when all evidence (and admissions of fact) tell a different story?

The original idea was bad, regardless of who proposed it. If the White House did, they made a stupid mistake. But now what are republicans demanding? A last minute budget cut, no matter where? That is even more stupid. No country can be governed like that. Republicans will be responsible, no matter what. If there was a republican president and democrats acted like that, they would be responsible for sabotaging US.
As for not deploying the aircraft carrier, I disagree with Woodward. No country can be governed under a constant threat to be shut down. After the sequester, I guess a new crisis will be initiated by GOP. they'll do that for the entire 4 years.

As for not deploying the aircraft carrier, I disagree with Woodward. No country can be led under constant threat to be shut down by opposition. After the sequester, I guess a new crisis will soon be initiated by GOP. they'll do that for the entire 4 years.
What are you referring to?
