Why do conservatives forget that a majority of republicans voted for the sequester?
Yep. This whole, "It was all HIS idea!" crap is just that, crap. Ideas get introduced all the time. What matters is what is voted on and passed, and by whom.
The fact is that 174 House Republicans, a number that includes the entire leadership, voted for the sequester. And a majority of Senate Republicans--again, including the entire GOP Senate leadership--voted for it.

So tell me again, who owns the sequester?
It was his idea! He asked the WH to put something together. Jack Lew and Rob Nabors drafted it. It was voted on, passed and signed by Obama.
Obama then threatened to veto any attempt to have it stopped.
Now Obama wants to stop it and crying foul about how bad it is.

Yep. 174 Republicans voted for it because they thought Romney would win in November and it would never come to pass. But the fact remains, it would never have landed on the president's desk without those 174 House Republicans voting for it, unless you're suggesting that somehow the president passed the bill himself.
If President Obama owns it because he signed it, then the Republicans own it as well because they passed it. Sorry, you can't have it both ways.

It was a deal that Obama came up with that would require certain hard cuts (85 Billion Dollars) would automatically take place IF congress did not pass a spending budget.
NOW Obama is demanding the SPENDING plan include new TAXATION.
Obama's plan, Obama moved the goal posts and now Obama is blaming Republicans.
Oh and by the way, 85 billion is not really "hard cuts" suggesting such is just a lie.
"This is what the president is saying is a massive and devastating spending "cut."" Rand Paul.
Listening to Obama, you would think there really would be spending cuts rather than a miniscule reduction in the spending increases. But to the worlds biggest spender, a slowing of the increase must be quite stressful.
The joker in the White House is saying a 1% cut will "add hundreds of thousands of Americans to the unemployment rolls. ... The unemployment rate might tick up again."
But 8% unemployment for 4 years is just fine with him. What a joke.
If you so.
