WAPO BUSTS WHITE HOUSE IN ANOTHER SEQUESTER LIE. This reminds of of one of Aesop’s fables.
The President Who Cried Sequester
There once was a man named Obama who was bored as he sat on Capitol Hill watching the village sheeple. To amuse himself he took a great breath and sang out, “Sequester! Sequester! The sequester is going to cause massive problems for you sheeple!”
The villagers came running up Capitol Hill to help Obama drive the sequester away. But when they arrived at the top of Capitol Hill, they found no sequester problems. Obama laughed at the sight of their angry faces.
“Don’t cry ‘sequester’, Obama,” said the villagers, “when there are no sequester problems!” They went grumbling back down Capitol Hill.
Later, Obama sang out again, “Sequester! Sequester! The sequester is causing massive airport delays for the sheeple!” To his naughty delight, he watched the villagers run up Capitol Hill to help him drive the sequester away.
When the villagers saw no airport delays they sternly said, “Save your frightened song for when there is really something wrong! Don’t cry ‘sequester’ when there are NO sequester problems!”
But Obama just grinned and watched them go grumbling down the hill once more, then headed for the golf course.
Later, he saw REAL sequester problems that would affect his flock. Alarmed, he leaped to his feet and sang out as loudly as he could, “Sequester! Sequester!”
But the villagers thought he was trying to fool them again, and so they didn’t come.
At sunset, everyone wondered why Obama hadn’t returned. They went up Capitol Hill to find Obama. They found him weeping.
“There really was a sequester here! Michelle can’t go on vacation! Biden has to take AMTRAK! I have actually PAY for my golf games! I can’t go on endless campaign trips and have to stay in Washington, DC! I cried out, Sequester! Why didn’t you come?”
And the moral to the story? “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.” Abraham Lincoln.

And I'm somehow supposed to feel sorry for "Dear Leader"? This whole thing was his idea, and they called his bluff. Now he intends to create maximum havoc, and continue lying about it, of course.
Serves you right to suffer "Dear Leader", it serves you right.
Maybe we should just start calling him President Pinocchio.
Some media are now giving stories about the administration "Pinocchio's" the number based on how big a lie it was....
I would prefer that we stop calling him "president" anything. He make me wish for the Bill Clinton days. (OK - I'm lying, but it's close)
Wonder if they've got their "You'll regret this" warning yet.
Please note, folks, the delightful fable is native here and NOT the Post. And although the Post DOES "correct" the White House's version of facts, they hasten to remind us "the sequester is hurting segments of the government and will cut the pay of some government workers. It would be better to focus on those people rather than imaginary victims."
Bottom line: just damage control from the Collaborationist Media.
This keeps up we are going to see smoke out of the white house chimney, just like at the Vatican...only this will be mostly steam coming from the smartest guy in the room and he gets more and more pissed....God I hope members of the press keep this up....Make Obama as miserable as he makes the rest of us, unless of course your one of the people on the government (Obama's) payroll.
They just told us they are cancelling our annual Air Show. To save the money ionvolved o flying for training and readiness.
IN other news, so far this year the government has bought some 10 Million rounds of hollow point ammunition for 40 calibur guns, another 10 million of r8 mm guns, and 1.6 million 9mm pistol ball bullets. Enough ammunition to wage a full scale war for 30 years,. When questoned, they reported the ammunition would be used for training. In a follow up interview with a marine, he noted they NEVER used hollow points (for instance) for training, In the meantime, gun stores are back ordered on ammunition. Hmmmmmmm
I hear what you are saying by "Obama's Payroll" cause he takes care of his buddies and asskisser, but it really is OUR payroll.l
That's the part that sucks, we pay for his stupidity without any say in the matter, seems to me that's what started this country a while back..:)
0dumbo the sequester jester.
In the Breitbart article linked to this bit, a commenter pointed out yet another apparent lie. The b.s. about that the White House tours have to be canceled because of the huge cut to a budget which is still increased over last year. Anyway, the commenter points out that the tours are conducted by volunteers. So Obama is stating that they have laid off the unpaid volunteers in order to save money. I'm sure this theory makes perfect sense to Obama and he is proud of yet another fine bit of budget cutting he did. Forward!
