CBS political director John Dickerson was interviewed by Charlie Rose on CBS This Morning about the impact of sequestration cuts. Watch for Rose’s shocked expression when he realizes that Dickerson is saying the Republicans have a point about allowing departments to have flexibility where they make these cuts (about 50 seconds). This just tosses the [...]
The House of Representatives is moving quickly today to finalize a Senate-passed plan that will ease air traffic delays. Congress goes into recess at the end of this week and politicians fearful of leaving constituents dealing with flight delays and cancellations for another week has put pressure on them to act. Business travelers and vacationers [...]
Obama’s sequestration rule has kicked-in and funding cuts are hitting the Federal Aviation Administration As a way to force Republicans’ hand in the debt ceiling debate, President Obama elected to use the tactic known as sequestration. Over the weekend, the spending cuts forced by that move hit the Department of Transportation and most-obviously the FAA. [...]
Grade school students still cannot visit the White House because the tours remain cancelled due to Sequestration. However, there seems to be enough money for PBS to film a Blues concert there for the President and presumably, a group of his closest friends. At least Justin Timberlake should be pleased, since he managed to get [...]
The President is scheduled for sit-down interviews with Spanish language television networks Telemundo and Univision in an attempt to refocus American’s attention from his failures on the budget and gun control and the growing negative view Americans have on Obamacare. President Obama is likely to focus on immigration reform – something that is much more [...]
Blame it on the sequestration. The FAA announced today that 149 smaller airport towers would close beginning in April. Originally another 40 towers had been slated for closure but will remain open, either because them shutting them would not be in the national interest or because money was found in a federal cost-sharing program to [...]
In her opening statement last weekend, Judge Jeanine Pirro lit into the Obama administration, including the Department of Homeland Security and ICE for releasing illegal immigrants. Saying they were only releasing non-violent illegals and blaming it on the sequestration the administration further backed away from any responsibility by putting the decisions on the shoulders of [...]
You know it’s bad when even the left leaning NBC Nightly News spends time criticizing this administration’s choice of cuts in this new era of Sequestration. Should we cut soldiers tuition assistance or maybe the president’s golf and family vacations? Are there non-essential workers at DHS or must 2500 border agents be furloughed? Can the [...]
Sequestration became the law of the land on Friday, March 1, 2013. Dear Leader Barack Hussein Obama, on Saturday, March 2, blamed Republicans for $85 billion in automatic budget cuts in both domestic and defense programs over the next seven months. I guess newly appointed Secretary of State John Kerry failed to get the budget [...]
What is it with this administration? Have they become so used to media not questioning them that facts are no longer relevant? Do they believe there are so many ‘low information voters’ that whatever they say will be believed without question? Consider just this week. As you recall, the Obama administration was for the sequestration [...]
For weeks leading up to the big sequestration event, we were told how the country’s critically needed services were going to come to a grinding halt. Thousands of planes would be grounded because FAA air traffic controllers would be laid off, houses would burn down due to all of the laid-off firemen, and we wouldn’t [...]
“O Duck Luck, ” says Hen Pen, “the sky is falling!” “Why, how do you know it?” says Duck Luck. “Obama Chicken Little told me.” And so goes the story of another famous alarmist, Chicken Little. President Obama has attempted for the past few weeks to raise alarm about the awful “cuts” that would affect [...]
Remember this? In 2011 President Obama threatened to veto any attempt by Republicans to change the Sequestration cuts. But last week? President Obama talks of Armageddon, chaos will erupt and life as we know it will end. Oops…maybe the pendulum swung too far…and the president again rethinks his position telling the Business Council that this [...]
