Why not just answer the question, lilmike?
Why is Obama doing this?
What reason does he have to veto the Republicans attempts to circumvent the defense cuts?
It's not partisanship. He said he would do the same thing if it was dems trying to circumvent entitlement cuts.
Which questions? Do you mean these?
uh yeah, is it that you don't want to tell the truth or are incapable of it?
wtf Mike? do you even vet your news slants anymore or just go with what Hannity and Rush tell you like it's gospel..
where in the hell do you get "Obama said he would veto any attempt by Congress to fix those cuts?"
holy crap you're hell bent on splicing whatever you can together to make an erroneous point aren't you?
I already answered those. She was crazy the whole time.
But your questions, if not crazy, are rather vague. First of all, I don't know if there will be any Republican attempts to circumvent the defense cuts. I think over the next year, if there is an attempt to correct it, it would be in the 2013 budget, and I think that will be fairly bipartisan. So as you said, it's not partisanship.
Although honestly, do you actually think there would be any cuts, even if Congress does nothing? What, exactly is being cut? Is 600 million being cut from specific programs, or from the defense appropriations in general? And how could the 600 billion from Medicare be cut? If Congress cuts 600 billion from the FY 13 budget for Medicare, remember that as an entitlement, Congress doesn't have to appropriate funds if Medicare runs over it's budget in a given year. It will just automatically spend more.
