White House Admits (Third Time) President Obama Fibbed On Sequester

White House Admits (Third Time) President Obama Fibbed On Sequester

Paul Roderick Gregory

Is the press corps getting some balls (to put it crudely but graphically)? Are they finally prepared to challenge the President’s untruthful assertions on facts that are crucial to understanding policy?

None other than NBC’s David Gregory today pressed Obama’s chief economic advisor, Gene Sperling, whether his boss told the truth in the third presidential debate that “the sequester is not something that I’ve proposed. It is something that Congress has proposed.”  Sperling finally wilted under the pressure of tough questioning to  admit that “yes, in fact, the sequestration was President Obama’s plan.”

Sperling actually admitted nothing new as I chronicled in my With the Sequester, President Obama Argues With President Obama. Jack Lew, in his confirmation hearings, conceded on February 13 that the sequester originated in the White House. On Tuesday February 19, press spokesman Jay Carney admitted “The sequester was something that was discussed… and as has been reported, it was an idea that the White House put forward.”

Of course, these clear admissions that Obama parented the sequester are being furiously spun (The Republicans made him do it), but the words are not subject to misinterpretation. So it is true.  Obama is fighting against his own program, while blaming his opponents! It can’t be clearer than that.

Despite this conclusive evidence that Obama himself proposed the sequester, the media sat on its hands as the President falsely excoriated the Republicans...

Finally the press showing a bit of character.  Someone willing to stand up to the dictator.

The better question is: when has Obama ever told the truth about anything? The man is a chronic liar.

Check out my thread about what Obamacare is about to do to Connecticut.  Obama lied like he always does. 

There is not a truthful thing EVEr from that piece of shit.

This is the fourth day of the sequester. So far, no lice, boils, pestilence, or slaying of the firstborn.

What gives?

only a MORON would expect to see any kind of results (negative or positive) in  4 days

maybe that was your joke though something tells me you were actually expecting lice, boils, pestilence, or slaying of the firstborn.....just like you expected Romney to win the election

[MCWAY]

only a MORON would expect to see any kind of results (negative or positive) in  4 days

Only a DOOFUS would try to absolve the president from any responsibility, even though he signed the sequester into law and threatened to veto any attempts to revoke it....UNTIL it was perceived to bite him in the behind.

maybe that was your joke though something tells me you were actually expecting lice, boils, pestilence, or slaying of the firstborn.....just like you expected Romney to win the election

Again, clueless and humorless....typical libbie. Up to February 27th, Obama was wailing and gnashing his teeth about the effects of the sequester. When the reality hit that the GOP (this time) was not going to cave, he dialed it back. There would be no "apocalypse", as he said Friday.

so you're saying he had previously said there would be an "apocalypse" (not to mention slaying of first born) and it would happen in a matter of a few days

Is that what he said?

Yes, he did. Or, at the very least, his surrogates did (with no challenge or refutation from him).

He only backtracked that statements on late Thursday and Friday, when it was obvious his smear campaign didn't get the GOP to crack.

please post the quote where he (oh wait, his surrogates) said there would be an "apocalypse" and that it would happen within a few days of the spending cuts taking place

we'll ignore the slaying of children part

how many times have a I told you I don't waste my time on your clips

post a quote and a link where Obama said the "sun was going to collapse" and that it would happen within days of spending cuts commencing

You and McWay sound like the obese man who cuts down on his twinkies and wonders why he hasn't dropped 50 pounds in 4 days

In other words, he doesn't "waste" his time, looking at actual footage from the proverbial horses' mouths that shoot his silly quips to pieces.

Obama was the one doing the BACKTRACKING on Friday, saying that there wouldn't be an "apocalypse", when just up to 48 hours prior, he claimed all manner doom, gloom, and destruction would take place, if it were not stopped.

Every timie Obama says something is going to happen (as a result of his policies) but it doesn't, you go into full knee-padding excuse-making mode.

I don't look at 333 clips because it doesn't matter what is being said on the clip to 333.   He just makes up whatever he wants to hear

Also, this is a clip from Hannity so I assume it will be edited to death to make whatever false point he is trying to convince the morons who watch him to believe

speaking of morons, I'm still waiting for you to post the quote where Obama (or his surrogates) said there would be an "apocalypse" and that it would happen within a few days of the spending cuts taking place

The immediate impact of sequester is “absolutely overhyped,” says Steve Bell, senior director for economic policy at the Bipartisan Policy Center and a former Republican staff director for the Senate Budget Committee. “A sequester will occur and, the next day, the likelihood is that almost no one will know that it started.”

The only guaranteed effect over the next few days, Bell and his colleagues say, is that federal employees across agencies will likely start receiving 30-day furlough-warning notices. The 150,000 federal employees, represented by the National Treasury Employees Union, still have little guidance on the timing or structure of those furloughs, says Colleen Kelley, the union’s national president.

So why all the shouting about these disastrous spending cuts? Well, in the long run (i.e., the next six months), they will put a drag on the economy, cost us jobs, and cut money from the federal budget in a blunt -- rather than careful -- manner. But for now, much of the doomsday talk is old-fashioned politics.

still waiting for the quote where he (or his surrogates) said there would be an "apocalypse"and that it would happen within days of the cuts beginning

If he (or his surrogates) never said that to begin with then just go ahead and admit it and move on
