 White House caught lying about sequestration The descriptions of the post-sequester landscape that have been coming out of the Obama Administration have been alarming, specific--and, in at least some cases, hyped. “There are literally teachers now who are getting pink slips, who are getting notices that they can’t come back this fall,” Education Secretary Arne Duncan said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” When he was pressed in a White House briefing Wednesday to come up with an example, Duncan named a single county in West Virginia and acknowledged, “whether it’s all sequester-related, I don’t know.” And, as it turns out, it isn’t. Officials in Kanawha County, West Virginia say that the “transfer notices” sent to at least 104 educators had more to do with a separate matter that involves a change in the way West Virginia allocates federal dollars designated for poor children. Whoops. I guess we'll find out soon what other tall tales are being told. |

 http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Gove...-Jobs-Lost Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA) had a dire prediction for America about sequestration, claiming that 170 million jobs would be lost as a result of the across-the-board cuts. But according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are only about 140 million jobs in the whole country. - See more at: ---------------------------------- We'll have negative total employment!

Krauthammer: Obama ‘overshot’ sequester consequences, only left out ‘pestilence, earthquake, brimstone and plague’ [dailycaller.com]
 Media Turns Against Obama's Sequester Narrative [breitbart.com] the lie is unraveling. This reminds me of a saying: "bullcrap can get you to the top, but it won't keep you there". Obama's bullcrap campaign got him to the top, but after a never-ending 6-year campaign, even the media leftists are starting to smell that something isn't quite right.

White House caught lying ... why is that news. That's just BAU for this Admin.
The big thing everybody needs to remember .. Sequester is all BUSH's Fault even if this Sequester was the Obama Administration's idea and they fully supported it and Obama signed itinto law. It is still Bush's fault. He who walks on water is NEVER to blame. "No previous administration in the entire history of the nation ever finished the year with a trillion dollar deficit. The Obama administration has done so every single year." - Thomas Sowell
US President Barack Obama deserves the prize for the "best snake charmer" who ever lived, Cuba's Fidel Castro said .. We are now in an era where low-information and no-information voters are now in the majority.” |

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blo..._blog.html
“Starting tomorrow everybody here, all the folks who are cleaning the floors at the Capitol. Now that Congress has left, somebody’s going to be vacuuming and cleaning those floors and throwing out the garbage. They’re going to have less pay. The janitors, the security guards, they just got a pay cut, and they’ve got to figure out how to manage that. That’s real.” The Pinocchio Test Obama’s remarks continue the administration’s pattern of overstating the potential impact of the sequester, which we have explored this week. Obama may have been correct about pay cuts suffered by the Capitol police but the bulk of the president’s comments referred to janitors — the people who are “going to vacuuming and cleaning those floors and throwing out the garbage.” It seems clear that, at least for the moment, janitors are not facing a pay cut — just less overtime. |

Washington DC is the wealthiest per capita metro in the United States. That money comes from the rest of us. If he wants to bank his argument on some highly paid bureaucrats losing a bit of income, so be it. |

EVERYONE with a job had a 2% pay cut starting January 1 this year, when SS taxes went up from 4.5% to 6.5%. Has the world ended in a catastrophe? has the economy crashed? no? (BTW that is another one of Obama's lies, remember when he promised that "there will not be any increase in any tax on those earning less than 250k, not one dime", but that is another thread)
If EVERYBODY with a job was able to adjust to a 2% cut, I find it arrogant, disgusting, and insulting to the rest of us to say that if the feds faces a 2% cut (which, again, is not really a cut, but a decrease in the pre-planned increase) the economy will turn to a recession, this will end, this will close down, etc etc with the Chiken Little fear mongering. ALL OF US had to take a REAL 2% cut (not a decrease in the pre-planned increase), but Obama and the dems are saying they can't survive with a 2% decrease to the pre-planned increased (although they will STILL get MORE money than last year in number of dollars)....sorry Obama, we aren't all morons....your lies might work with the low-information voter, but that's about it. simply fear mongering lies.
