Obama didn’t get his way, So He wants to Hurt People

Barack Obama may be our President, but he is a petty little man who cares more about his power and ideology than people.  After months of attempting to blame Republicans for his sequester plan and promising dire consequences, the public didn’t buy it.  They said cutting 2.3% from our bloated future spending plan isn’t enough, cut current spending levels by 5%.     

Like a spoiled brat, Obama wants to make people suffer for not believing his threats.  So, he stops White House tours, he cuts medical care for veterans, including disabled veterans and their families, he releases thousands of criminals to prey on Americans, he goes out of his way to cause pain to others, but for a $500,000 donation to his campaign fund, he gives you a night in the Lincoln Bedroom at taxpayer expense.

Obama had over a year to minimize the effects of the sequester “cuts” (which means spending only increases by $15 billion this year).  Small cuts in government waste and fraud would cover all of this year’s sequester “cuts”.  Skipping the golf weekend with Tiger Woods would have saved enough money to fund the White House tours for a year.    Other questionable spending could be cut, e.g., $50 million for homeland security (DHS) uniforms, $250 million to Egypt, $60 million to Syrian rebels (we don’t even know), and billions for bullets, tanks and other armaments for DHS (to fight whom?).

Congress offered other alternatives.  The Senate could have negotiated with one of the two House proposals.  Republican Senators proposed to give the President total flexibility to choose the “cuts”.  Not only is there a long established process for Cabinet heads requesting and obtaining from Congress permission to move money among different areas when needed, House Republicans have been asking, even begging, Cabinet heads to suggest alternative less painful cuts.  But, Obama and his administration refused all options to reduce the impact of the sequester.
