BHO needs a little LBJ

As the sequester looms, I'd like to see the president start preparing his plan for discretionary cuts. And I'd like to see him decide on base closures ... in red states, national park closures ... in red states, cancellation of highway and other infrastructure projects ... in red states, etc. I'm pretty sure this will be with at his discretion to do; I hope he does it.

He should first target Kansas. Let him tell them, "Let Charles Koch bankroll the bases and infrastructure if you hate the President that much."

I so hope he does this. Those tea baggers representatives screaming about how much the government spends would be screaming about losing government programs in their states. I think South Carolina and Kentucky should be first on the list of places to make these cuts, followed by Texas, Arkansas and Alabama. I want to include Mississippi but those poor people who live there are already suffering enough being the last of everything in their state.
