I still see comments akin to pompom waving for the President. It's quite undeserved. This President has been continuously, publicly promoting the vital need to slash the deficit since 2009 thru, oddly, to about four months ago.
This President created the cat food commission, appointed co-chairs who have been ardent government spending slashers to it, and has been demanding the commission's findings be implemented. This President has already proposed cuts to Social Security that are 20 years premature and only inflict pain on the current (and future) vulnerable elderly - all in the name of gashing Federal spending.
The sequester was not something that Congress forced on the President - it was a terrible concept proposed by the administration that they thought was shrewd but completely backfired (if we are to believe Woodward's highly documented treatment to be non-libelous)... or it did precisely what it was intended to do, slash spending (except, as we see now, the defense cuts are in process of being restored).
So here we have a Fed Chair - who was originally appointed by a far-right extremist president - publicly pleading a case to increase federal spending.... a position that the sitting President has been against since the neutered stimulus was passed.
And this is cause for praise?!?
Obama is a train wreck... like every other right winger pretending to be a Democrat.
