Obama and the looming 'sequester' cuts

Obama gave a very moving and chilling talk recently about the upcoming cuts that will kick in unless congress agrees to a fiscal deal. If the automatic cuts kick in, according to Obama the following will happen...

our military will be weakened
many teachers will get laid off
prosecutors will have to drop cases and let criminals go free
benefits won't get paid to people who need them
locusts will eat all of us

Kidding on that last one. If these cuts will be so painful and detrimental, doesn't it seem that the person responsible for suggesting these cuts be held accountable? Do you know whose idea these cuts were? Do you know who proposed them?

Obama. It was all his idea.

Only in this deranged Obama-world, can he propose the automatic cuts, and then specifically blame Republicans for the harm that the cuts will cause. And nobody holds him accountable. The liberal media let him claim that it's the GOP's fault, and they don't ask him why it's anyone's fault but his own.

How much contempt Obama must have for the sheep that will, without question, allow him to exhibit such chutzpah.

That's bipartisanship? That's what a unifier does?

Spence? Paul S? Rockhound? What am I missing here?
