Boehner Throws a Tantrum and Refuses to Stop Sequester Until Republicans Get Their Way

In case you are still wondering who’s behind the sequester, with Republicans publicly laying it at the President’s feet every chance they get, Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) just refreshed everyone’s memory if a House Republican leadership aide is to be believed. The answer is Republicans. House Republicans, to be specific.

A House Republican leadership aide told Roll Call Wednesday morning that Boehner made the “political reality” of Thursday’s scheduled meeting clear: “(T)he sequester won’t be replaced until Democrats agree to a whole host of cuts and overhauls.”

Congressional leaders (Boehner, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY)) are meeting Thursday morning to discuss the upcoming fiscal issues — or rather, how the House is going to dodge the angry Tea Partiers as they fail once again to defund ObamaCare after all of those promises.

In case you missed it, this isn’t the first time Boehner or an aide has taken ownership of the sequester cuts. In March of this year, he admitted that Obama didn’t want the sequester cuts.

I thought that that was OBAMA'S SEQUESTER? Remember their "clever" #Obamaquester back in March? Now, THEY apparently want to adopt it?

4. Obama is rope-a-doping the GOP and the Teaparty on Syria, the debt ceiling and sequestration.

He doesn't have to do anything but sit around and watch them eat themselves alive until the midterms. And they are too stupid or too ideologically paralyzed to do anything about it. His pushing for bombing Syria still sucks and he will pay heavily for that with a crippled foreign policy and no allies.
