As residents and as registered voters here in Wisconsin, we're going to exercise our rights to vote this scumbag out of office next election. He and his pal Scott Walker better be prepared, because about 67% of the voters in Wisconsin can't stand either one.
Ryan's approval rating is even lower than Walker's.
And yet the press is full of accusations from all the elected officials.
There's the hypocrisy.
Why is Obama saying Congress proposed it when it came from Lew ?
There are transcripts of the meetings with Lew and Nabors speaking.
Why is it now so important for the WH to distance themselves from this ?
Obama is saying they passed the law and the sequester was suppose get them to actually compromise and they didn't. Congress failed. The GOP now acts like they don't like sequesters, which my video clearly disproves. The GOP set up the process of tying strings to raising the debt ceiling. They got the ball rolling that led to the sequester. Obama and Democrats have said they will compromise on social program reforms if the GOP will compromise on taxes.

It's NOT just the GOP in the press trying to pass the buck. Obama came out and said that Congress proposed the sequester and clearly they didn't.
I got no dog in this race and have become disgusted with our government.
Neither Dems nor Repubs care one whit about American citizens anymore.
No one penny is being cut from any programs. The "sequestor" is a lie. It is cut in the growth of PROJECTED FUTURE SPENDING years down the road. A real "cut" is to take the current budget and reduce it by a dollar amount.
No, it is a cut to 2013 spending. Departments that budgeted for $x this year must now cut spending for the balance of the year. This will result in layoffs and furloughs.
As many as 11,000 civilian employees at Fort Bliss and a total of 800,000 Department of Defense civilian workers worldwide could face repeated furloughs if a budget deal can't be worked out in Washington, D.C., and automatic spending cuts kick in March 1.
More than 7,000 civilian employees at White Sands Missile Range and Holloman Air Force Base could also be affected. The furloughs would be structured so that nearly all of the 800,000 civilian employees would lose one day of work per week for 22 weeks, starting in late April, officials said.
That translates to losing 20 percent of their pay during that period.

It's not Dem vs Repub...it's us vs them.
Where and when did Obama say Congress proposed the sequester? Everything I've seen Obama saying on the subject has to do with him saying Congress passed the law and failed to act and now the GOP is more interested in tying the sequester to Obama rather than coming up with a compromise to replace the sequester.
