Sequestrated

132 words.

Looks like sequestration is a go.

Right-leaning media and Bob Woodward have been quick to point out that the sequestration is Obama’s fault, and everyone hates him (again) for orchestrating this destruction of the country. But here’s something I don’t get. Why aren’t Republicans glad about this? They’re supposed to be the party that cuts spending and reduces government, right? Shouldn’t they be congratulating Obama on a job well done?

I guess that wouldn’t fly in today’s political climate. Erick Erickson, for example, lays the blame for the sequestration squarely at Obama’s feet, yet somehow manages to say that cutting budgets is both a great thing and a bad thing at the same time. It’s awesome to cut budgets, apparently, but only some budgets, and definitely not any budgets that Obama proposed.
