Boohoo.

WASHINGTON -- As Republican politicians insist that the Obama administration has "exaggerated" the effects of sequestration, people around the country are beginning to see for themselves what the results of the $85 billion in budget cuts are: They're losing their jobs.

Thousands of federal employees are facing unpaid time off as agencies determine that they will have to furlough workers to absorb the cuts.

But other workers -- including some in the private sector -- are losing their jobs altogether, underscoring just how much daily life for many people is tied to a functioning government.

Some examples:

And it's happening while Congress is on a two week paid break. What irony.

They damn well better dust off that manual and refresh their memories.

Don't need to...There's thing known as "biannual flight review".

If democrats can't figure out how to handle cuts of 2 cents on the dollar they have no business being in power.

If it makes you feel any differently, it caused a gallic shrug among independants.


Everyone is dispensible.

You voted him in, what did you expect? Hope and change? Well you got change.

Yes, blame the president. That's just what you people wanted. Never thought I'd see the day when people hated the president (for no good reason) more than they loved this country.

You forget the years 2001-2009? Even your very own reactions to Bush??

How soon they forget

Forget what?? That Bush started 2 wars that we couldn't afford??? That he deregulated Wall Street causing the financial crash that plunged us into the Great Recession?? Cut taxes for the wealthy which accounted for half of our public debt??? Failed miserably to efficiently handle the crisis of Katrina??

No, I didn't forget anything. There are a lot of things I remember.

The fact Obama is President seems to have escaped you.


Higher taxes (Hope?) and more government spending (Change?).

Do you actually believe all of that nonsense, or are you just being sarcastic?

Its almost as if Obama hasn't really accomplished anything in 4 years, so we need to return to his '08 campaign rhetoric to find any satisfaction.



Hell, even I'm able to parrot, "Obama Killed Bin Laden."


You'd think Rinny could at least keep that mantra going.

If Obama really cared about this debacle, he would have been on this issue for the past year and a half....instead, he just kept kicking the can down the road. It's what happens when you don't lead

BOOOOOOSH!




Yeah, now I feel better.

Well I guess Obama should not have come up with the sequester and then state he would veto any legislation that prevented the sequester cuts from taking effect.
