Mr. Thompson, Is it ignorance to not know Pres. Obama has been caught red handed with emails saying "make cuts as painful as possible".
To harm the American people is a bold move indeed. You not knowing this is ignorance.

'but to intentionally harm the American people'
That's a pretty bold statement. Or maybe bold isn't the word I'm thinking of. Nope, ignorant is more accurate.

Into the fifth year of Obama and he still isn't leading the American people as the President of all but to intentionally harm the American people hoping for 2014 political gain using sequester cuts as a weapon. The suffering of the American people continue under this low approval, how did he get re-elected, dictator wanna-be.
