Why did 0bama claim in the last debate he would not allow sequestration to happen ?

Then two days later tell the Des Moines Register that his plan was to use sequestration and the massive tax increases due to ending the Bush tax cuts as his means to cut the deficit.

    No.

    Remember when Bush before leaving office signed a law that allowed guns and hunting in National Parks? same thing...President Obama knowing that super committee decision will kick in January 1st despite who wins the election, he would use his right to haul every body's butt back to Congress and beat out an agreement.

    Remember, whoever wins will not be inaugurated and enter office until January 20th...that date will be too late to do anything.

  • lol... per usual... you didn't understand anything he said...

    you got about 50 percent of the truth here and the other 50 percent explains it...

    in short, he said that Congress wouldn't allow it to happen... which I doubt they will...

    then he told Des Moines that he would work with congress while they were fixing it it to help cut the deficit... which is of course, was the point of the sequestration, but it was done in a hack and slash manner

    Obama never knows what hes talking about. People like him because he is "cool". Most people don't see what hes done these past four years. Nothing... except play golf.

    Another bald faced lie. Typical. And the liberals will buy it hook, line and sinker.
