President Obama urges Congress to act to avoid a series of harmful and automatic cuts — called a sequester — from going into effect that would hurt our economy and the middle class and threaten thousands of American jobs. The President urges Congress to find a balanced approach to deficit reduction that makes investments in areas that help us grow and cuts what we don’t need.

I have an idea.. Quit campaigning, stay in Washington, stay away from the media talk with all of Congress and be a leader get involved and get rid of the fear mongering sky is falling rederick. It is time to lead and come up with some useful legislation to end rising debt even tho he said we have made progress in reducing debt???? What?
I haven’t discredited it. I said I know the White House had a similar plan for the sequester. If the actual language and cuts in the bill are the White Houses or from Congress who cares? It has been reported on all the major news outlets that a plan existed. The very similar clip you are talking about has been shown on many of the news sources. I have seen it at least 4 or 5 times and I don’t watch Faux News. My point is be it congressional or white house it was meant to do the same thing…force congress to get off their butts and tackle the budget and debt problems. I guess I don’t see why you 2 are in such an uproar about who wrote it.
@happy guy-I thought you had said it was the Republicans who wrote this and denied Obama had anything to do with it. I would have to look at the past post to be sure.
LVS here is my previous post, copied and pasted…”so what is your point maybe? I don’t think the sequestration that we are facing now was written by Pres. Obama. I believe it was written by congress to put some pressure on themselves to get the job done. That being said I know the White House had drawn up a similar plan, at the same time, for the same reason. You are right about that. Pres. Obama was right then and now when he said he hopes it doesn’t happen. Because Pres. Obama wanted to pressure congress to deal with the national debt doesn’t mean he was ever in favor of sequestration”
When I wake up in the morning for 30 minutes or so I watch Fox News, otherwise thats it. Happy how can you still say that obama didn’t write the sequestration when he said that he did? A song comes to mind, “Blinded by the light.”
maybe you are not following the conversation here. Reread my original post in which I said “I don’t think the sequestration that we are facing now was written by Pres. Obama. I believe it was written by congress to put some pressure on themselves to get the job done. That being said I know the White House had drawn up a similar plan, at the same time, for the same reason.” I didn’t say for sure that it didn’t come from the White House. I said I thought he didn’t.
It seems that all you are after here is a fight. Not going to happen. What does it matter anyway? If the bill came from the White House congress had to pass it. It was written and passed for the same reason…to put presure on them to start dealing with the issues.
If you want to play the childish game of “I’m rirht and you are wrong”, you will need to find another player for this one. I’m out.
And you are not reading what I am saying, he said in a video that he wrote it, this video was recorded in novmber 2011.
I must correct what I said about not watching Faux News. I do sometimes watch The O’Reilly Factor. I have a hard time watching all of it, due to how right winged slanted it is, but he does on occassion have a good idea or report. It is also good for a laugh or two.
Now in all honesty can you really tell me you think Faux News is fair and balanced? I think you 2 like it because the opinions that they have are very much in line with yours. Their “news” is full of 1/2 truths and opinions and always tries to make the left out to be the bad guys and the right to be the good guys.
@happy guy- some of the shows are slanted that is true but not all of them. You just have to weed out the B.S. which isn’t hard to do. MSNBC is 10 times worse.
LVS I have said it before and I’ll say it again…I never watch MSNBC because I know it is slanted to the left. I don’t watch the news to hear what I want the program to say. I watch the news to hear the truth. Thus I don’t watch any MSNBC and only The Factor (even though it is very slanted right)on Faux
@maybe- I saw the same news cast and it is not the first time I have seen it. I just didn’t mention it because he would just try to discredit it. I watch all the news channels except MSNBC. Everytime I watch them it makes me mad because I know the are misrepresenting the truth. At least NBC and ABC are not as obvious.
except when NBC gets caught editing videos to change what it means, does anybody else report that? I loved watching Robin Meade on headline news but when they started being more pronounced in the propiganda I stopped watching that channel. It seems to me that Fox News is the ONLY channel that reports the news truthfully. Anybody that believes MSNBC has been brainwashed.
Another thing, when NBC edited the video of Paul Ryan it was very evident, you could tell. That being the case how could happyguy discredit what we saw because it was a video of obama saying it and you could tell by watching it that it wasn’t edited. If he tried to discredit it then he is as blind as the rest of the 51%. He said it with his own mouth, geeze I can’t believe how stupid some people are when he admits it’s his fault and they still don’t believe it.
@happy. I know why you don’t like Fox News, it’s because they are not under the WH’s control. I was watching Fox News this morning and they showed video clips of obama saying that the sequestion was the one that HE wrote and if the GOP tried to change it he would veto it and then he blames the GOP for the cuts. If you can’t see this man for who he is, a LIAR, then I have some desert land in mississippi to sell you.
Obama talk….Balanced approach = raise taxes.
How about you make the senate pass a budget as the constitution calls for on a yearly basis? Mr. Obama, your administration has not had a budget passed in the Senate for over three years now. That is unconstitutional.
