White House: Oh yeah, about Obama’s budget — sequestration is exacerbating the holdup

HOTAIR.COM 3 Hours Ago White House: Oh yeah, about Obama’s budget — sequestration is exacerbating the holdup by Erika Johnsen posted at 7:31 pm on February 28, 2013 by Erika Johnsen So the White House simply hasn’t had the time to finish up a major project that was due a month ago, yet somehow, they’ve managed to come up with and fudge overly-alarmist numbers for specific Cabinet officials and sent them all out on a sequestration scaremongering spree. Got it. Via Politico: President Obama’s budget will probably be released in March, White House press secretary Jay Carney said Thursday, but has been delayed in part by “manufactured crises” including sequestration. “The series of manufactured crises around budget issues, certainly has resulted at least in part in those experts in the administration who work on those issues having to spend a lot of time dealing with those crises rather than on that,” Carney said during his daily briefing. “But that’s part of the job and they’r

The Day of Doom is Upon Us

RADIO.FOXNEWS.COM 2 Hours Ago The Day of Doom is Upon Us By Todd Starnes The Day of Doom is upon us. I’m writing these words from deep inside my sequestration bunker – bracing for the impact of a three percent budget cut that President Obama said would cause our nation to fall into ruin.

The Mayans thought the world would end in 2012 – but President Obama believes it will end today. But many Americans believe his administration is manufacturing a crisis and one New York University professor suggested Obama was simply making up numbers – hoping it provoked outrage. To get to the bottom of the crisis, I called Higgins – my confidential source deep inside the Obama Administration. “Todd, it’s worse than we thought,” H

Thursday, February 28th Woodward Exclusive Tonight on Hannity we will have an exclusive interview with author and journalist Bob Woodward. Woodward, as you may know, has been the source of controversy over the last few days for his reporting on sequestration, which apparently got him into some hot water with the White House. Yesterday morning, Woodward went on MSNBC where he said that Obama's decision not to deploy an aircraft carrier to the Persian Gulf because of the looming cuts was "a kind of madness that I haven't seen in a long time," prompting additional outrage.

Politics News Alert from The Washington Post Competing bills to avert sequester fail in Senate Thursday, February 28, 2013 3:30:39 PM Politics News Alert Competing bills to avert sequester fail in Senate Competing partisan bills to avert the looming budget cuts failed to advance in the Senate Thursday, as Congress prepared to leave Washington for the weekend without taking action on the $85 billion sequester. A Republican proposal would have left the budget cuts intact but provided new flexibility to President Obama to decide where the cuts would fall. It was rejected on a 38 to 62 vote -- as all but two Democrats opposed it, along with nine Republicans who feared it would afford President Obama too much power. Sixty votes were needed to advance the measure. Likewise, a bill from Democrats that embodied
