Did Obama save the country by proposing the sequestration?

...and getting republicans to agree to raising the debt ceiling?

Otherwise the economy would have ended as we know it.

    Sequestration was the only deal Republicans would accept in exchange for not destroying our nation's economy. To blame Obama is nonsense worthy of Fox News.

    I guess it depends on which Obama speech you listen to, a few months back Obama said it was a good thing and he said was needed to help the Country but a few days ago all of a sudden sequester is a bad thing, will hurt the country and NOT his fault for proposing it.

    Lolz, nice try. Spend a little less time trying to shift the blame and a little more getting Republican representatives to do their darn jobs.
