Sequester Means More Presidential Power
 

with automatic cuts to federal programs, it will be the president who decides which programs get funded and which programs get cut. Look for political decisions to reward allies and punish enemies. maybe even more money for obamacare that congress has refused to provide. congress is losing the power of the purse by refusing to compromise, republicans are beginning to realize. BWAHAHAHAHA

You reveal the hypocrisy and deception of all of the fear mongering.

If he can decide where the cuts are made, then why all of the doom and gloom???? Teachers won't have to be cut, aircraft carriers won't have to be anchored, doomsday can be averted. He could apply these cuts to all of the waste that exists in the federal govt. Surely out of $3.7 trillion $85 billion of waste and fraud could be found and cut.

DM if this gives him more power, why has he been spreading thick layers of fear for weeks???

we have to blame republicans for any pain.

Re: Sequester Means More Presidential Power
 

Any President, Republican or Democrat, that reaches outside of Congress for any budget not approved by Congress, should be horsewhipped, i.e. "maybe even more money for Obamacare that Congress has refused to provide." - from your original post.

That is one reason I mainly voted Libertarian this time around. Aside from the social issues, which they still want at the state level, at least they are fighting for the Constitution. Something that neither the Republicans nor the Democrats seem to be interested in at the moment.

I do agree with Sen. Ted Cruz - “In 1980, it took Jimmy Carter to give us Ronald Reagan. And I remain convinced the longest lasting legacy of Barack Obama is going to be a new generation of leaders of the Republican Party who stand for liberty.”

It is funny and depicts the fear mongering you were speaking of.

That's what everybody said back in 2008. We didn't get RR in 2012. And we only had JC for one term, not two.

Reagan had a strong message, the Republicans don't have a message and until they do, they will not win. Like Bobby Jindal said, "“Nobody in the Republican party should be thinking about running for president. We’ve got to win the debate before we win the election."

The Republicans as is, are a bunch of losers with a handful of winners. I hope they can arise. But, I already see the Rhinos and Fox News pushing against Cruz and Rand Paul. So, I don't have high hopes of winning. They want to keep the status quo while the Independents rise, mainly leaving the Republican Party. That can bring us a third party, which we are sorely in need of.
