Even Bob Woodward is calling Obama a liar on the "sequester"

The "sequester" is a stupid, typical Washington euphemism for taking $85 billion out of future budget increases to be determined at the future. $85 billion is a joke in a year when the Federal Government is expecting to to waste $3.6 trillion, of which over $1 trillion is borrowed. At he same time the Federal Reserve literally prints or electronically fabricates $40 plus billion in paper money, backed in reality by nothing, every month. There is not a true cut in Washington Speak! It is just a term used  for an accounting trick denied for the fools in the suck-up media and Obama sycophants. The Republican "Leadership" is even dumber for not exposing the whole thing in honest terms. But they want to keep their phony budgets filled with their own grafting pet projects as well. Maybe they are not so dumb. They know that any cuts would expose how little their phony, expensive "services and projects" are actually needed by the public at all.
In other words, they are all liars who should not be given any money, ever. A real cut would be the tax payers refusing to pay the trillions extorted from them.

Woodward is a typical D.C. Liberal insider, but the irritatingly oh-so-slow speaking Woodward does not suffer liars lightly, no matter how politically aligned they may be. Here is an example Woodward used exposing Obama as a liar. m/r:
Two Faced
The finger-pointing began during the third presidential debate last fall, on Oct. 22, when President Obama blamed Congress. “The sequester is not something that I’ve proposed,” Obama said. “It is something that Congress has proposed.”

Bob Woodward: Obama’s sequester deal-changer - The Washington Post
By Bob Woodward, Published: February 22 (the AP and Washington Post still have no idea what year it is) - it's 2013


The president and Lew had this wrong. My extensive reporting for my book “The Price of Politics” shows that the automatic spending cuts were initiated by the White House and were the brainchild of Lew and White House congressional relations chief Rob Nabors — probably the foremost experts on budget issues in the senior ranks of the federal government.
Obama personally approved of the plan for Lew and Nabors to propose the sequester to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.). They did so at 2:30 p.m. July 27, 2011, according to interviews with two senior White House aides who were directly involved.
Nabors has told others that they checked with the president before going to see Reid. A mandatory sequester was the only action-forcing mechanism they could devise. Nabors has said, “We didn’t actually think it would be that hard to convince them” — Reid and the Republicans — to adopt the sequester. “It really was the only thing we had. There was not a lot of other options left on the table.”
