Bohner stated that he got 98% of what he wanted in the negotiations that resulted in the sequester and more Republicans than Dems passed it in the House yet you continue to beleive it was all Obama's fault.
Yes, and Boehner was excoriated by other repubs for saying that. If you recall, repubs considered that a major cave, and knew that this dishonest President would politically use this against them. And well, here we are. Woodward has it right, this was a WH plan, devised by Lew.
The sequester was meant to be BAD so Congress would get their act together and pass responsible deficit reduction. So much for that.
Except that libs in the WH underestimated the public's ability to see that these are cuts at all, but rather curtailment in increases. Most don't think that is a bad thing when we are broke.
