so Obama (or his surrogates) never actually said to begin with that their would be an "apocalypse" and that it would happen in a matter of days after the cuts started
you're now willing to admit that ?
Just when I think your comprehension can't be any more shot.......
Obama led the charge about how awful and devastating the sequester would be (which HE SIGNED INTO LAW and thwarted any attempt to rescind, initially). By his own words, the cuts would be "IMMEIDATE, painful, and arbitrary".
I actually cited some of the doom-and-gloom claims (and who made those claims). Yet, here you continue to squawk your kneepadding stupidity, all to duck the obvious.
Obama walked back his claims and those of other libs, because they didn't get the GOP to crack, pure and simple.
"We will get through this. This is not going to be an apocalypse I think, as some people said. There won't be an apcalypse as others have claimed". What he leaves out is that the "others" were from HIS PARTY. And, Obama did ZILCH to walk back those claims of his surrogates....UNTIL the day the sequester was to hit, when he could do nothing to stop them.
