White House adviser “walks back” Barack Obama claim of an immediate sequester impact

March 3, 2013

 For two weeks Barack Obama transformed himself into John the Revelator and put forth a vision of impending doom if the sequester was allowed to be implemented, however when it became clear to him that the Republicans were not going to cave for once he began to walk back his doomsday predictions. You can read my two previous posts on this here and here.

  Barack Obama has now sent out his economic adviser, Gene Sperling, to continue walking back the armageddon scenario he set forth in the first place:

Nobody ever suggested that this … was going to have all its impact in the first few days,” he told “NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “It is a slow grind.

  Really Gene? Nobody ever suggested the sequester would be felt in the first few days? Perhaps he missed what Barack Obama was saying:

  As you can see and hear in the video, Barack Obama claimed the sequester would bring “immediate painful” budget cuts to take place. The definition of ‘immediate’ is this: Occurring or done at once; instant. So yes, Barack Obama was doing more than suggesting the cuts would be felt in the first few days, he was basically guaranteeing it. But Gene Sperling conveniently forgot this while spinning the president’s newest line of propaganda.

    Does this stinker get away with lying to his truck farming wife? There’s a term you don’t hear much anymore, truck farm, although more often then we hear the truth from the White House.

      Can’t say I have ever heard the term truck farm so I guess that means I haven’t heard Obama tell the truth either.

    At least there are some rumblings from the media about his campaigning. Woodward maybe broke through.

    The real underlying problem is this lie or that lie, this program or that infringement on liberties. The horror luking in the dark that very, very few with any media presence are talking about is that while the conservatives, I can’t in good faith say the Republican party any longer, chase after this whirl-wind of a president they argue and debate, play school-yard pushy shovey and run to the cameras to opose Emperor Obama in the terms he defines and sets forth. Those on the left who are engineering the demise of the Constitutional Republic and working to create the New People’s Democratic America don’t care a whit about any of the battles they are waging. Win or loose, they really don’t care.

    They are playing the long game. They are playing chess, maybe even Star Trek three dimensional chess, while those who should be defending the Republic chase him around the porch and engage in checkers. They are like a bunch of small children with their hands on their hips, posturing and telling the world that they know what to do. The destroyers just chuckle in their hands and go on about their adult business.

    By the way, what is a truck farm?

      I am glad I am not the only one who didn’t know what a truck farm was, I googled it and apparently it is a farm grown inside a “green” truck which brings healthy food to children in Chicago.
