Outside of the Republican media bubble and Bob Woodward's night terrors, I don't think there's been any doubt that Republicans, not President Obama, are the ones insisting on implementing the sequester's automatic spending cuts, but until Wednesday afternoon, I hadn't heard House Speaker John Boehner admit it.
The big moment happened during an an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper on Tapper's new show, "The Lead." Boehner initially tried to blame President Obama for the sequester, saying that "he forced this process [sequestration] to occur." Then something truly unexpected happened: Tapper pointed out that President Obama didn't want the sequester cuts ... and Boehner conceded the point:Well, no, he didn't want the cuts. But, uh, we have the sequester as a result of his demands. And I've told my colleagues in the House that the sequester will stay in effect until there's an agreement that will include cuts and reforms that will balance the budget over the next ten years.
so will he admit he and the entire right wing conglomerate lied to the American people all this time?
Basically, Boehner just give his stupid #Obamaquester blame game a big old kiss goodbye. Now that he's admitted that President Obama doesn't want the sequester but that Republicans do, he's taking full and complete ownership. And unless he changes his mind, the only way we'll be able to get rid of the sequester is by winning the 2014 elections
you know when you lie deceive and mislead there is a lot of crap floating around in that septic tank Beohner calls his brain like so many before him they crack under the pressure of being a front for the right wing and oops out pops a gaffe.
wonder what they'll do to try and remedy this long time to 2014 even longer 2016, plan on recording or keeping pen and pad handy gonna be some real doozy's.
