Wrong again, Bill Day! President Obama demanded that the Sequestration
provisions were included as part of the Budget Control Act of 2011.
Former White House Budget Director Jack Lew and White House
Legislative Affairs Director Rob Nabors created the provisions of this
sequestration. DEM Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid rammed it through
the Senate. GOP Senator McConnell and Speaker of the House John
Boehner are NOT responsible for this monster. More cartooned lies to
shaft blame away from the Golfer-in-Chief. Please do not delete my
comments just because you do not like the facts.
Thanks for the delusional comments and the rewriting of history. Both sides agreed to the sequestration. How could Obama “demand” anything since he didn’t control the House of Representatives? If you want to provide a 10th grade rant, please at least take civics first. As for us, we’d rather the president search for birdies rather than mythical WMDs.
