| President Obama told America yesterday morning that if the sequester goes through on March 1, It will eviscerate job-creating investments in education and energy and medical research…. Emergency responders like the ones who are here today — their ability to help communities respond to and recover from disasters will be degraded. Border Patrol agents will see their hours reduced. FBI agents will be furloughed. Federal prosecutors will have to close cases and let criminals go. Air traffic controllers and airport security will see cutbacks, which means more delays at airports across the country.

Obama is making his appeal to the morons who, when comedians interview them on the street, claim that Oprah is the Vice President. They will unequivically believe this bs. Who on the Republican side, besides Mark Levin, is calling him out for this?

Not one scary revelation in the whole list. Odummah is losing his touch. Emergency responders don´t respond now. We let murderers out on the streets every day; Jerry Brown does it by the truckload. Crime is rampant throughout the government. Our major cities are all on the edge of bankruptcy. Education is a sham. Shut it all down and let the people handle it.

It´s too soon now but I wonder how long it will be before some activists start calling for Obama to have a 3rd term.Even though there´s a lot of Hillary enthusiasts,Obama would trow her under the bus in a minute to keep his grip on government.People have billions invested in this guy and it´s hard to believe they´ll let him walk away without the country being destroyed first.

Heard the video clip of this lying s-bag demagogue. Lies on top of lies. Since when are first responders and teachers paid out of the federal budget? The sequester rolls back the budget to OBAMA´S 2011 LEVELS! So he he is saying if we cut our spending to 2011 all this evil will befall? And job cuts will not be made by the Repubs, but by the administrators and bureaucrats of the Executive Branch agencies that all work for Obama. They are the ones who decide whether to meet the sequestration by cutting back on wasteful spending for conferences, i-phones, re-decorating offices--or cutting jobs. When Zippy decides to lay off workers, that´s HIS CHOICE. Someone in the Repub leadership has to shout out to the media that Obama is a LIAR. Only then, will there be enough media attention to get the truth out.

A third term would require ratification of 3/4 of the states. That´s 38 states. Not enough blue states to do it. There is no Constitutionally supportable way for Obama to remain in the White House beyond 1/17.

But this is the President again playing you, because he thinks you are too stupid and uninformed to pay attention to what has been going on.
Well?
What Obama is saying here is that most Americans agree that cutting spending hurts the economy, but raising taxes doesn’t. And if you do agree, and willingly allow Obama to play you like that, it is you who are stupid.
After several generations of public-school-educated people and colleges which don´t educate, we have a majority of people who ARE that stupid. Ignorant, really. But ignorance and stupidity vs. knowledge of the truth is really what our problem is in America: The truth no longer is sought nor does it matter in this Postmodern culture.
We are in deep, deep trouble unless God sends us a serious leader who isn´t afraid to speak the truth and who can rally the people behind him to change things.
Must it take a revolution, blood in the streets, because that´s all I can see on the horizon.

If a normal person was spending $3500 a month, and one month they were forced to cut back by $85, do you think a normal person could handle $3415 for that month, instead of $3500? Of course.
Unfortunately, our federal government has NEVER done that, so they are in a panic, along with our dumber-than-dirt media.

This is what you get when a lifetime of lies and demagoguery is never challenged. First of all this is not a real cut but a smaller increase from last years baseline. Why not go back to the baseline where Obama took office and have zero increase from now on from the baseline? Didn´t he say that Bush spent too much? This way increases and cuts must be labelled properly cutting out one element of the demagoguery. Obama claims to have offered cuts ( he lied ) so demand that he be specific and name one non defence cut he is willing to make. Since defence is only 12% of the overall budget a cut of an equal dollar amount in defence is a much deeper cut than the same cut to entitlements. Air Force 1 is going to be worn out soon. There should be cuts that affect Obama personally. Put a cap on the mileage for Air Force 1 and leave the emergency response, paid by local governments, alone!

I read somewhere that one simple act of Congress will solve all the immediate problems. Postpone the implementation of the ACA (AKA 0bamacare)from 2014 to 2016. Also, IMO. let the people vote in 2014 if the postponement should be permanent.

Exactly #30. No one bucks Obama.
Why doesn´t the RNC or anyone put out a short ad on TV and the net that calls Obama out on his lies. If the Republicans don´t go around the media to get their message out and at least try to get the truth out there, Obama wins because ultimately the only one who pays for Obama´s follies are the Republicans. The media sees to that. This administration is quite different than any other in history. They will lie, cheat and steal to achieve their goals. The Republicans just don´t get it and they are going to let this country go down because of their denial, laziness, or complicity.

Your analogy is good,#23. To be more precise, say you´re expecting a 12% raise or $420 you would be expecting $3920 per month. But things are tough and your employer can only give you 8% or $280 per month raise giving you $3780.
Wow! How many meals would you miss?
That´s what this is all about. There are some areas that will actually have cuts, but overall it will be increases that are less that could still be used to build up the cuts and reduce the deficit but will be used to distribute more cell phones.

I don´t know what makes me more weary - that the politicians and media keep lying to our face, or that the voters continue to believe the rhetoric. If you thought you were going to get a 4% raise, but you only got a 2% raise do you tell everyone that the company cut your pay?! Would you then tell your kids that they would have no food, when you could easily cut the extravagant cable features if money got tight?

We have a 40% overspending problem and we can´t make the first 2% cut without hysterics? Can you imagine a family or business expecting the banker for the next loan? The stark reality is that our nation is a collection of families, individuals and businesses.
The very discussion makes the point on spending. We can´t provide essential protections because we spent it on what?

Like many, I originally wanted to avoid the sequestration. Then, after the "fiscal cliff" fiasco, passively letting it happen seemed the only way to get some spending cuts. Now, with a lying pResident going over the top on this: I strongly urge that the sequestration take effect. If it doesn´t directly prove that the world will not end and that the scare tactic was just that, it will force Emperor NerØbma to expose his priorities, which will be open to attack - at long last. It will awaken the electorate and focus their attention on the problem. I doubt this will play in the Emperor´s favor. I´m for it. Do it. Bring it on. Call the bluff.

The real reason Bamie´s panties are in a wad is because Boehner out manuvered him.
Obama was too busy crowing about his tax increases. Boehner was able to make 99% of the Bush tax cuts permanent and took leveage away from Obama in saying he would agree to military cuts which Obama thought he would NEVER do. This way GOP will get the spending cuts they wanted and Obama can not do a thing about it

This board has not yet commentedd on how sequestration (in concert with the CR) has already effected our military footprint. With two carrier strike groups standing down, and the depletion of our standing armies, our entire external universe becomes less sustainable.
Someone more knowledgable than I should do the arithmetic, but listening to the world around us banging on our gates is not a good sign. So I think equating the damage done to our national sphere of influence with the lack of cell phones for the mindless only works on the mindless.

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, a newly elected Republican with a penchant for making headlines, filed an amendment that would bar undocumented immigrants currently living in the United States from ever earning citizenship. There are an estimated 11 million people living in the country illegally, and a bipartisan immigration reform measure would create a pathway to citizenship over the course of 13 years by requiring those people to pay penalties and back taxes, as well as learn English. Conservatives opposed to reform decry the path as amnesty, but Democrats say they will not support

Federal education officials today slammed the door shut on UMass Dartmouth´s appeal to release academic and financial records of alleged Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, according to a letter received by the Herald. "From the limited information you provided, it appears that the academic and financial records that have been requested would be protected by FERPA, and that the University may not release them without the consent of the student," wrote Dale King, director of the Family Policy Compliance Office for the U.S. Department of Education.

WORCESTER — Police and officials at the funeral home where Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s body is being held say that a plan has fallen apart to bury Tsarnaev at a state prison. According to two officials at the Graham Putnam Mahoney Funeral Parlors with knowledge of the plan, the plan was hatched on Monday, and police from the city where the prison is located met with funeral home officials Tuesday. The plan, which called for moving the body to the prison during the early morning hours, fell apart sometime Tuesday, the officials said.

Republican Rep. Darrell Issa said Wednesday, as the oversight committee he chairs launched into a high-profile hearing on the Benghazi attacks, that the whistle-blowers giving their version of events are "actual experts" on what happened -- who could challenge the administration´s narrative. As the hearing began, one whistle-blower questioned Wednesday why more military assets were not deployed sooner during the Benghazi terror attack. Mark Thompson, a former Marine and official with the State Department´s Counterterrorism Bureau, said he was rebuffed by the White House when he asked for a specialized team -- known as a FEST team --

Former GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney got under the craw of the liberal intelligentsia concerning his remarks about marriage during his commencement address to graduates at Southern Virginia University last month: This is a promise: “Launch out into the deep, and your nets will be filled.” How do you do that? Well, getting married is one way to launch into the deep. I’m so glad I found Ann when I was still so young. Combining your life with another person, particularly someone—men and women as different as we are, this combination is tremendously challenging and enormously rewarding.

Last month, the American media had a brief moment of accountability when many in the press and broadcast networks acknowledged that they had largely ignored the case of Kermit Gosnell. The trial of the murderous Philadelphia abortionist flew below the radar for weeks. But some journalists were willing to fess up to the fact that their lack of interest in a sensational crime had something to do with their lack of comfort in discussing a case that might throw a shadow on an issue most in the media see as pitting an enlightened advocacy of “choice”

It started with reports that former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra O´Connor had second thoughts on the court´s decision to rule on the issue of George W. Bush v. Albert G. Gore, followed by dedication of the George W. Bush Presidential Library in Texas. Together, those events brought on a flutter of Gore nostalgia, a longing of sorts for his alternative presidency; the dream one that never took place. Since 2001 it had been the destination of choice in liberal fantasies, wherein Saddam Hussein was contained without bluster or bloodshed, terrorist attacks were derailed

Dan Foster, a young staffer at National Review, published a 2010 story about a class-action lawsuit against the federal government that resulted in "the waste of billions of dollars" and "systemic fraud implicating top federal officials." He wrote that the scandal touched President Obama himself, that countless payouts were made to people falsely claiming racial discrimination, and that more fraud was likely in successor lawsuits filed on behalf of women and Hispanics. Two days after the National Review story appeared online, Nancy Scola, a progressive journalist, commented on the same suit at The American Prospect. "This is one of those times

She was imprisoned after failing to pay the amount within the stipulated two-week timeframe. During her trial, Hill was ordered by the judge in Newark, New Jersey to undergo counselling because of her conspiracy theories -

WASHINGTON — As the administration struggles to put in place the final, complex piece of President Obama’s signature health care law, an endeavor on a scale not seen since Medicare’s creation nearly a half-century ago, Democrats are worried that major snags will be exploited by Republicans in next year’s midterm elections. Many Democrats also want to see a more aggressive and visible president to push the law across the country. This week Mr. Obama is returning to the fray to an extent unseen since he signed the law in 2010, including a White House event

Three kidnapped young women were starved, repeatedly raped — and then beaten when they got pregnant — in a basement Cleveland dungeon run by three twisted brothers, law-enforcement sources said yesterday. The tortured victims were imprisoned in a dilapidated, white-clapboard home with chains mounted to the ceiling for about 10 years before finally escaping Monday evening. Michelle Knight, 32, Amanda Berry, 26, and Gina DeJesus, 23, were treated as sex slaves — kept chained and taped in separate rooms, sources told the local ABC affiliate. They were also seen naked and on dog leashes in the back yard, according to USA Today.

When it first became clear that the CIA’s Benghazi talking points had been altered, many of us viewed the White House as the prime suspect. After all, it served President Obama’s political purposes to claim, at the height of a political campaign in which he was taking credit for the fall of al Qaeda, that the death of a U.S. ambassador was down to spontaneous outrage over a video, rather than pre-planned terrorism. It turns out, however, that the State Department was the prime culprit. It was State that pushed back hard against the original talking points.

Republican lawmakers, who have spent months seeking to tie President Obama to last year’s deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, are increasingly focusing their probe on a new target: former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton. The GOP-led investigation of the Sept. 11, 2012, assaults that killed U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three others now centers heavily on the State Department and whether officials there deliberately misled the public about the nature of the assault. Three State Department officials are scheduled to testify before a House committee on Wednesday about the Benghazi attack and its aftermath.

If ponies rode men and grass ate cows, And cats were chased into holes by the mouse … If summer were spring and the other way round, Then all the world would be upside down. Once in a long while, an event evokes one of my favorite historical images: the British Army band, at Lord Cornwallis’ surrender at Yorktown which sealed the Americans’ revolutionary victory, playing “The World Turned Upside Down.” In this case, the event is the dramatic change over the past two weeks

The Seattle Police Department collected more than 700 guns during a buyback in January, and now city officials have a plan for what to do with them. Mayor Mike McGinn is expected to announce Tuesday that they´ll be melted into bricks carrying messages of peace, and the bricks will be placed around the city. The buyback program was announced a month after last December´s elementary school massacre in Newtown, Conn., by city leaders sick of hearing about gun violence.

Former Gov. Mark Sanford completed the trail to political redemption Tuesday with a win over Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch to reclaim his old seat in Congress. Sanford defeated Colbert Busch 54 percent to 45 percent, according to full unofficial results. Turnout was heavier than expected, with about 32 percent of the district’s 455,702 registered voters casting ballots. Sanford, who has never lost an election, returns to the 1st District seat he held for three terms from 1995-2001. It’s a remarkable comeback for a man many pundits had written off after his highly publicized affair with an Argentine

CUMMINGS: And, as I listen to your testimony I could not help but think of something that I said very recently -- two years ago now -- in a eulogy for a relative. I said that death is a part of life, so often we have to find a way to make life a part of death. And, I guess the reason why I´m saying that, going back to something Mr. Nordstrom said, he wanted,

There was tragic incompetence, plainly, in the Obama administration’s handling of the Benghazi attacks, and even possibly some political calculation. It is a record that may well come to haunt Hillary Clinton, the first Secretary of State to lose an ambassador in the field in more than three decades, if she runs for president in 2016. But the obvious Republican effort to turn this inquiry into the Democratic (Obama) version of the Iraq intelligence scandal that has tarred the GOP since the George W. Bush years -- led by that least-credible of champions, the almost-always-wrong Darrell Issa --

Ahead of the Benghazi hearings in which three witnesses are set to testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade invited Fox News analyst Lt. Col. Ralph Peters to discuss the issue. Peters was unflinching in his criticism of the “cowardly” Obama administration — and the “establishment media” that aids it. “Is this a national security coverup?” Kilmeade asking, explaining that the witness testimony is expected to say the administration was deceitful in its handling of the situation. “The administration, facing the election, went into panic mode, wanted to contain it,”

British physicist Stephen Hawking has dropped plans to attend a major international conference in Israel in June, citing his belief that he should respect a Palestinian call to boycott contacts with Israeli academics. The University of Cambridge released a statement Wednesday indicating that Hawking had told the Israelis last week that he would not be attending "based on advice from Palestinian academics that he should respect the boycott." University officials said they had "previously understood" that Hawking´s decision was based solely on health concerns — he is 71 and has severe disabilities — but had now been told otherwise by Hawking´s office.
