Why can't Obama direct smarter cuts? We have hundreds of military bases, the European commander said his job would be easier if 30% of our bases were closed in Europe and it wouldn't effect our security. Let's listen to him and cut and consolidate bases before going for the painful ones. Obama didn't want the power to make smart cuts...why does he enjoy being a dunce? Is it to drum up the idea that all cuts are painful, despite previously bragging that he had supposedly cut several trillion over the next decade. Doesn't matter, the sheep will believe.
Boehner got "98% of what they wanted" and over 70% of Repubs in Congress voted for it ... yep, Repub sequester to be sure.

Much as I despise giving illegal immigrants any public money how much control does BO have over California state spending?

I guess if I were BO I'd be yelling at Gov Brown for embarrassing me for giving them money while I've got to cut aid to the military.

Exactly.
The president did not stipulate what should be cut. Those details were left to Congress.
