Obama calls for a delay in his sequestration plan

Obama calls for a delay in his sequestration plan. “Pres Obama will call for spending cuts and revenue hikes to give Congress more time to come up with long-term plan to avoid the sequester.” Obama calls for a new plan to make plans to talk about stuff he might want to plan. Hey, how about a blue ribbon panel to create plans to spawn more blue ribbon panels? More here.

  • Yet another word to bullshit the Useful Idiots.
    Budget cuts = Not as big of an increase as we wanted

  • When he agreed to this , I knew he never meant it .

    The actual thought of spending cuts to the Left means the end to their madness . They will kill everyone first before letting this happen .

  • And the result of all this planning will be it's all Bush's fault and we need to raise taxes on the rich.

  • yes, please delay all negative reporting from now until after the 2014 midterms have successfully been "recorded"

  • We're well beyond the point where a Blue Ribbon panel can save us - we need a full Task Force to solve the planning problem.

  • So will he reinstate bfast for the troops? Probably not... They can live off the the sand in their boots. And his blue ribbon panel will meet 4 times and declare victory. Disband.

    • 4 times in 2 years.

      Breakfast for the troops? Why, do they need to eat or something? Is this part of Moochelle's new nutrition plan? No breakfast for the troops because they need to feed the poor children in school, who BTW, throw most of the food in the trash.
      Breakfast is the least expensive meal, but they do it 2x a day, midnight chow and mornings, so they can accommodate troops on different shifts. Now they just cut meal service in half.

      • BTW, breakfast is the meal highest in carbohydrates. Carbs equal sugar, which equals energy. Why would we want our combat troops to have energy?
