One Shrewd Dude

[Keukasmallies]

So, a number of months ago POTUS engineers a resolution to the fiscal crisis de jure by devising a sequester scheme that "guaranted" Congress would come together to resolve the fiscal difficulties prior to the sequester impacts taking effect (AKA kicking the can down the road). Now, with the deadline fast approaching (and with Tiger Woods busy this week), POTUS game-faces comments laying the problem squarely at the door of those dastardly Republicans--who, by the way, created this mess in the first place [insert raised eyebrow and chuckle here].

 

Now to the questions of the hour:

 

1. Is POTUS really this arrogant?

 

2. Are the American people really this gullible?

 

3. Will Harry and Nancy support POTUS with a straight face?

 

4. Is it true that press access was restricted during the weekend's golf game because neither Obama nor Woods were wearing pants?

 

OK, talk among yourselves....

1. - yes

 

2. - yes

 

3. - yes

 

4. - no..........press access was restricted because Reggie Love was on the trip.

Barack Obama to actively campaign against the sequester that He Himself proposed

by Moe Lane

 

And he’s going to do it with the usual living props, too: “President Barack Obama will once again call on members of Congress to avoid the mandatory spending cuts due to hit at the end of the month, joined by first responders whose jobs may be on the line, according to a White House official.”

 

Some thoughts on this:

• This is remarkably small-ball for a sitting US President. Watchers of municipality politics are familiar with the gambit, of course: a second-rate mayor (usually Democratic), faced with looming budget cuts (because the money was spent on some mindless enthusiasm of said mayor instead of what it was supposed to be spent on) will come out and cheekily proclaim that if the voters don’t give him more money then all of these firefighters here will get it in the neck. Or school teachers. Or whoever or whatever else the mayor thinks will get the public to panic.
  

• If the President’s that worried about first responders, then why did he target them with the sequester in the first place? Nobody in the media really wants to ask that question, huh? Or “Why did you push a policy that you are now scared of seeing implemented?” Or “What else were you wrong about, Mister President?” In no-doubt unrelated news, consumers are still abandoning print journalism.
  

• The sequester deadline’s in nine days, Mister President. Indulge my idle curiosity: what else have you got?
  

 

 

 

…No, “blame Bush” is not a valid answer.

Will the first responders include any of the cops that we hate because they shoot innocent civilians?

No, those guys don't test well with focus groups.
