And isn't Obama the master hypocrite? Speaking at a Naval shipyard about how HIS cuts will hurt the Navy. Just like Romney said and was attacked for being out of touch comparing that to horses and bayonets.

You know the left is so desperate when to use children and women as threats of quilt to the GOP. They really are in a panic.

Obama just increased all our taxes for Social Security, he shouldn't be cutting anything from that and medicare is already being sliced by Obamacare as well as the s-chip program. Republicans have already been told Obama would Veto anything they offered against Sequester. He's absolutely in a panic now that the American public will see that cuts are good. Less government means more capitalism may enter in. Less money for his bankrupt crony Solyndra type give-aways.
Dems doen't want anybody to see that less government is better government.
John Kerry says we're "allowed to be stuped" in America - as Rush said today. The Dems are counting on that. They NEED a dummy downed America.

"Deepening the bafflement is that the Republicans’ apparent approach bears no relation either to political reality or to the party's stated goals. President Obama is offering up something — hundreds of billions of dollars in cuts to Social Security and Medicare — that Republicans say they want and which (because of their unpopularity) they have proven unable to obtain even when they have had full control of government. They are instead undertaking a public showdown against a figure who is vastly more popular and trusted, who possesses a better platform to communicate his message, and whose message itself — spread the pain among rich and middle class alike, don’t cut retirement programs more deeply than needed in order to protect tax loopholes for the rich — commands overwhelmingly higher public support.

I think the Republican Party’s behavior can be at least partly explained, though not necessarily rationalized. The main thing that’s going on is that, in the face of cross-pressures, the party’s anti-tax wing has once again asserted its supremacy. As has held true since 1990, when conservatives revolted against the (highly successful) deficit reduction deal negotiated between President Bush and congressional Republicans, every priority has given way to the cause of lower taxes on the highest-earning taxpayers. The party’s decision now is simply a replication of every decision it has made since then."

Vnvet...agreed!

#3...it's not going to work. First you set sanctions to make them quit, then you say you will reduce those sanctions if they quit. They must be rolling on the ground with laughter.
