      <![CDATA[If Obama is making speeches about the importance of avoiding this manufactured crisis, it will only make him and the Dems look that much better when it happens and all the red states start to suffer because their elected officials put ideology before constituents, right? I guess that assumes a big leap in logic in that voters in red states will <i>use</i> logic to see who screwed them, a rare feat in red states.

      <![CDATA[@2 - go back to watching Fox news.  Yawn.<br />
<br />
The sequester is gonna happen, so here's my question - why do you think Obama is stumping for it and issuing such dire warnings?  If the strategy is to make sure the GOP owns the sequester and pays for it in the next election . . . that sounds a little bit like the GOP trying to screw the ecomomy for the past two years and hang it on Obama's neck.  Seems kind of risky if it's not the catastrophe he's making it out to be.<br />
