Come on---- Mr. President!!

You better get out in front of this Sequester problem fast....

There are millions of people out there who don’t understand a single thing concerning the politics of these cuts..

Everyday now we’re gonna be hearing on MSM how the sequester is hurting the economic recovery..And that you and Congress can’t get it together. This is a very tricky way to let this
situation exist.. I think it will end up being your Sequester if you let it go much further..

In my opinion a White House statement followed by a brief Q&A is needed immediately!!!

A lot of us have been waiting years for you to say it as it is....A Partisan issue caused by Republican greed and ideology. They have from day 1 disrespected, humiliated and have filibustered your agenda to death..

We need you to throw some left hooks into the collective stomachs of these idiots now.
If not everything you did to turn this country around might be voided by their refusal to come
to you will a bill which will nullify these cuts.....

1. agree....

do to my medical problems i`ve been away from du and other political forums so i`m understanding that there are a whole lot of people who have`t a clue. it`s easy for them to blame the president especially when all they hear is right wing crap. the medicaid and medicare cuts are going to be a disaster for the democrats.it does`t matter if it`s the republican fault the public will blame the president and the democrats

this is going to be a disaster for the democrats and the president if they do`t start fighting back with every god dam thing they have.

2. Don't hold your breath.

Not to rain on your parade but he does what he wants. I can't think of a Democrat I know of in my family, friends, and acquaintance that what condone drones, kill lists, locking up whistle blowers, etc.... I think he's a moderate Republican in Democrats clothing and I think the whole party has shifted, once again, to the right. How do we know that he's not playing the sequester card exactly how it is. Cutting social security is not a Democratic value and doesn't contribute to the national debt but it's always on the chopping block. WTF

3. I think the whole Drone thing is something Obama must acquiesce to....

Its a Pentagon favorite with huge backing from the C.I.A.
If there was a direct attack on American soil or direct interests here or abroad after Obama
dismantled the Drone Program, it would immediately end his presidency and he would become
a lame duck president.. There would be a huge reaction of fear across the country and the next thing would be Bush/Cheney like presidency...

4. Possibly

But keep it in other countries not here.

Me thinks, because of Citizens United we don't know where the money's coming from. I forget where I read it, it was an OP on DU about how much a particular nation invested in our elections. When there's no tracing money, bad things happen. I have no doubt there are several if not more nations that have monetary interests vested in the good ole USA and I'm not talking about China.

So because of that now we need drones in our backyards?

I wish there was an easy answer for this fucked up situation.

5. Your subject line would be less offensive if you used a comma after the word "on"

Frankly, I don't even know if I could get that close.
