You hate the republicans for trying to get spending under control? What the **** do you think happens when the interest rates go back up to normal, and we spend $700 billion or more a year just to service the 0bama debt?

When will the democrats like you start caring about the country again? When will the welfare of the nation be of more concern to you folks then your petty partisan politics?
Im not a Democrat for most of my voting life i voted Republican untill Goerge W. and reacently the election and now this. The Republicans showed there true colors this time around and it will take alot for me to ever consider voting republican again.They are so hell bent on going against everything Obama wants and lets face it they dont want a black President and this is coming from a white mans mouth...

No. 0bama owns it, because it was his idea.

He and Boehner had a deal in 2011, then 0bama broke the deal by suddenly decided to add another $400 billion in new taxes. 0bama wanted there to be no budget deal, he wanted the sequester, because he thought it would be a club he could beat Republicans with to raise more taxes in 2013.

Sequester was his idea, he forced the sequester on everyone, and threatened to veto any attempt to water down or remove the sequester.

The Republicans even gave 0bama some help, by having the GAO submit a report to 0bama, on agency cuts and consolidations that could be made that would save about $200 billion a year.

These sequester cuts are at the discretion of 0bama and the heads of his administrative agencies. If he cuts WIC for infants, then that is what he will do, even though he could make the cuts in the GAO report instead.

The OP will never get the GOP to disown George Bush, they love him, because he is the type of politcian they always want. The GOP loved Bob Dole, McCain and Romney, the GOP will always pick those types of Republicans, hell they prob want to run Jeb Bush in 2015. If the GOP found a black man or woman like Bush, they'd be more then happy for him to run.

Funny how your source of information is Fox News operated by a former campaign manager for Republicans if you believe fox news then your opinions dont mean anything.
