Obama is dealt 4 Aces and he folds his hand.

294. Not necessarily.

Only if you look at it from a loser's point of view.

You see, the sequestration was a deal made by both Parties. The President has a bully pulpit if he just would use it. He could call a news conference and explain to the American people that the Congress wants to cut Meals on Wheels, cancer research, and Head Start for the children but they want to make sure they are not personally inconvenienced by making an exception for the flying public, but mostly for themselves. He could ask that citizens call their Congressmen and tell them to fund the programs that are more important than whether or not they might have a small wait at the airport.

There is no doubt in my mind but that this issue could and should be turned on them. But if we continue to act like beaten puppies and take the mindset that there is nothing we can do, then we are defeated from the start.

Your idea is a perfect example of what is wrong with this President and our Party.
