If the president's intent was to minimize the effect of the sequestration on the public, he would have accepted the Republican offer to allow him chose where the cuts are made. However, that is not his intent, so he refused the offer. His goal is to blame all this on the Repubs in an attempt to win back the House so he can run rampant.
The price of gold as well as the price of public stocks have skyrocketed. Why? Not because those commodities have increased in real value. A good deal of the increase is due to the U.S. dollar no longer being worth a shit. We are schlepping down a path that has no way home.

That offer was only made so that in the future the GOP could point the finger and say something was all Obama's fault. He is a smart man and he saw through the offer to the reality which lay beneath. And he said no.
I notice you never had a comeback when I offered you facts about that whole email thing and Obama wanting to "hurt" Americans. This is typical. Spread the hate, but when the facts contradict your lies, just forget you ever mentioned something.

That offer you're talking about hasn't been sent to him yet. Republicans limited those choices to defense cuts, and democrats amended the bill to include domestic cuts. So he's refusing to sign a bill that has yet to be passed.

Actually, it was offered and Obama said he would veto it if it passed.

It just amuses me to see that silly ass people believe that any of these fools really give a fuck about any of us.

The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money.
That's why they "care" about us. We'll vote for the party that promises us the most. Change! Hope! Obaaaama-care!
