The short clip makes it appear as if Obama is pledging his support for the sequester rather calling on Congress to come up with a broad approach to avoid it, using his veto as part of a threat to force a plan.
The RNC's ad: Obama in 2011: "I will veto any effort to get rid of those automatic spending cuts to domestic and defense spending."
My message to them is simple: No. I will veto any effort to get rid of those automatic spending cuts to domestic and defense spending. There will be no easy off ramps on this one.We need to keep the pressure up to compromise -- not turn off the pressure. The only way these spending cuts will not take place is if Congress gets back to work and agrees on a balanced plan to reduce the deficit by at least $1.2 trillion. That's exactly what they need to do. That's the job they promised to do. And they've still got a year to figure it out.
we must be aware when we hear things from the republican propaganda machine it is there to mislead and misinform, we know this so we have the power to reject it if it's false and rarely take a look if it's feasible. remember 2010 jobs promise.
rest of Pres. speech
Although Congress has not come to an agreement yet, nothing prevents them from coming up with an agreement in the days ahead. They can still come together around a balanced plan. I believe Democrats are prepared to do so. My expectation is, is that there will be some Republicans who are still interested in preventing the automatic cuts from taking place. And, as I have from the beginning, I stand ready and willing to work with anybody that's ready to engage in that effort to create a balanced plan for deficit reduction.
i think so too, there have been those who have bucked their hierarchy and survived primarily because it's the right thing to do al same old right wing same old can not dispute facts as hard as the try and think we won't notice.
