Fox News cannot be blamed for all that is wrong with this administration, when it is obvious how outright duplicitous this administration is when you see this testimony http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=cKbMhr-cfh8 countering White House claims of inadequate funding for children’s vaccinations.

MrWrong and anybody else for that matter … you spoke recently about an entertainment news group and now you have referenced an entertainment web site.
Research Snoopes credibility once .. what a joke they are!

Also, MrWrong and Another Employee the sequester is just another in a long line of stumbles for this president. Bitch session or not it is good conversation!

I lived in Illinois for 20 years and I can tell you I never heard of barack hussein obama/ barry soetoro until he spoke years ago at the dem convention. He was a nothing senator in Illinois who never legislated a darn thing! Voting present is not legislating. The guy did nothing and it is starting to really show now!

Facts before Fiction, Tim & Pedro. It is not required. “Expected” but not required. Again, why is this even part of the discussion? I’m not going to sit here and defend the President for what he did, nor do I care, as it is irrelevant to the discussion about the Sequester.

Yes, he didn’t put his hand over his heart, you are correct. No, he is not required, but expected to do it.

This thread is about the Sequester and who is actually responsible for it… which is another cesspool of misinformation as presented on this forum.

Have you seen the “new” leaked AG/USDA email coming from our “leader” ..
the one that states “make it sound worse than it is?”

I heard that the white house stopped the tours, but not the golf trips.
I guess that’s one example of a Sequester disaster.

Again .. this is not a cut but a reduction in growth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When does our government “cut” anything??????????

It use to be our leaders would lie to us through backdoors .. now they just face the camera. … and people believe it without doing any research on their own.

It’s just amazing!

Off the subject .. are all of you home grown Sheldon-ites?
I am .. class of 1980!

Well, I don’t know how this got from the Sequester to people just bitching to be bitching, but here’s some interesting facts…
Did you know?
48% of the USDA/FSIS pay is in the Washington, D.C. area?
That IF the Sequester happens, it’s going to be the entire USDA Agency? Not just one plant at a time, but that encompasses the ENTIRE USDA? Which means Grain and Food?
That the USDA, to help cut the budget, will be making the entire Agency take one day off per pay period(1 day every two weeks).
That the USDA heads will decide which day that will be.
That the USDA will not allow the plants to operate that day without inspection personnel onsite…

My question is simple. When did our country stop being a democracy and become a dictatorship? No wonder the stricter gun laws went into effect before they decided to bring this sequester up!!! Sorry, that was my failed attempt at a little humor, but really, how and what gives the government the right to do such a thing as this? They are penalizing the companies, if this sequester happens, and the FSIS employees for Congresses stupidity and failure to appropriately spend money. Not to mention that instead of helping a situation, they are only going to make it worse, because I found out that the USDA is planning on having 1 day furlough every two weeks for up to 11 days(which will amount to, I think, over 400 million in losses per day that the Industry is down) Please don’t quote me on that figure because the information was given so fast…I’m not good at taking shorthand, but I think that’s correct. But the bottom line is this people, if the American public doesn’t stand up for what’s right, then they are just going to continue to take things away from us that our forefathers fought long and hard for us to have. I never thought I would say it, but I’m ashamed of the way our Congress and Government and yes, OUR PRESIDENT are handling things. If they want to have a pissing match, take it somewhere else. What’s next in line for budget cuts? Rationing out bullets for our soldiers, or maybe even taking them away, period? It’s stupid if you ask me, and I don’t care if you like or dislike my opinion, it’s mine and I still have the right(so far)to state it.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!!
