WH Tries to Blame Sequester Cuts Devised by Administration on GOP​

On Wednesday, the White House suggested the threat of sequester during the fiscal cliff negotiations was responsible for the dismal GDP report that showed the economy contracted during the fourth quarter.

White House press secretary Jay Carney tried to pin the blame squarely on Republicans, even though the sequestration proposal, as Bob Woodward reported, originated in the White House in 2011.

The idea of the sequestration may have come from the White House, but it was Congress that actually wrote the Budget Control Act and passed it. The White House was using sequestration as a bluff to get something better from Congress. The White House never expected Congress to actually agree to it.

Our government, as a whole, owns the sequestration. It's not a matter of Republican vs Democrat. Of course, a partisan hack site like breitbart.com will never frame it that way.

This WH will never accept responsibility for anything it has a part in.

The first step to being a leader is accepting responsibility, This is why I call Obama the worst leader we have ever had. Because he refuses to accept responsibility for anything.

I never said the White House press secretary wasn't a hack. Of course he is, it's his job to be a partisan hack. Anything that comes out of his mouth should be automatically disregarded as heavily slanted.

But, both sides need to accept responsibility for it instead of trying to blame each other for political points.
