Obama says House sequestration bill DOA

By John T. Bennett - Staff writer

The White House on Wednesday issued a sharp veto threat of a bill tailored to avoid Pentagon budget cuts slated to take effect in January.

The veto threat came in a state of administration policy that stated White House officials believe the bill "fails the test of fairness and shared responsibility."

The legislation, called the National Security and Job Protection Act, was introduced by Rep. Allen West, R-Fla., who stringently opposes new defense cuts. West's bill would slash $19 billion from discretionary spending accounts, and also contains language that would force the president to replace billions in cuts to planned Pentagon spending set to take effect Jan. 2.

West's legislation, not expected to be taken up by the Democratic-controlled Senate if the lower chamber passes it, does not cover the entire $1.2 trillion in automatic federal spending cuts that would kick in in January should lawmakers fail to pass a debt-reduction bill with that same amount of cuts.

As Pentagon officials have warned, the automatic cuts would be made through a process called sequester, which would simply take a certain percentage from all non-exempt federal accounts. Shy of strategy, the cuts could cause job losses and hinder national security, the officials have warned.

Specifically, the White House objects to "destructive cuts in investments critical to the nation's economic future, ranging from education to research and develop infrastructure." Spending on infrastructure enhancement programs has been a theme of President Barack Obama's re-election campaign.

The veto threat statement also panned the bill for cuts it would allow to mandatory domestic programs like Medicare, which are favored by Democrats like Obama and viewed skeptically by conservatives like West.

The White House's statement also hits on several issues that have been at the forefront of the 2012 presidential election.

The Obama administration opposes the bill because it would slash federal discretionary spending below levels agreed to last summer by congressional leaders of both parties and the White House.

The White House would prefer a bill that raises new federal revenues "by asking the most fortunate Americans to pay their fair share." To help pare the federal debt, Obama wants to raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans; GOP nominee Mitt Romney, on the other hand, opposes all tax increases.

Obama was lying through his teeth.

If he were serious he would have tried to work on this months ago when the entire government was begging him to get an agreement.

For the past two years, instead of governance, Obama chose fundraising, campaigns, golfing, the View, Parties with Hollywood and the elite, Letterman, Comedy Central and any and all comedy show appearances that were available.

4 dead in Benghazi and Obama flies off to Las Vegas.

Obama calls our dead Americans "bumps in the road" and "Not Optimal".

Hello President Romney!

Of course the sequester is not going to happen.

The only reason we have it looming in the 1st place is the immature tea party babies demanded it as the price for not welching on the country's debts by refusing to raise the debt ceiling. But they wrote it in the law, then refused deals to raise $1 in taxes for every spending cut via the super committee. Now they run around blaming Obama like it was his idea.

The Great War will someday be over food. Fending off 2 billion starving people who suddenly decide to head for the USA will be difficult and challenging.

Defense is one of the few Constitutionally-mandated functions of the federal government.

The Tripoli Treaty of 1797 between the US and the Barbary States, unanimously approved by the US Senate on June 10, 1797, specifically states that the US is NOT a Christian nation. At that time, the US government was still dominated by those who are referred to today as the "Founding Fathers". ARTICLE 11: As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion...! John F. Kennedy September 12, 1960, address to the Greater Houston Ministerial Association: I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute--where no Catholic prelate would tell the President (should he be Catholic) how to act, and no Protestant minister would tell his parishioners for whom to vote--where no church or church school is granted any public funds or political preference--and where no man is denied public office merely because his religion differs from the President who might appoint him or the people who might elect him. Separation of church and state was enshrined in the 1st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which states that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” What the religious radicals don't tell people, and what, tragically, many Americans apparently don't know, is that when it comes to determining what the laws of the United States mean, the only document that matters is the Constitution. The Constitution, a completely secular document, contains no references to God, Jesus or Christianity.

"The Constitution, a completely secular document, contains no references to God, Jesus or Christianity."

Whatever.

It also doesn't mention abortion, homosexuals, or education.

The Constitution, a completely secular document, contains no references to God, Jesus or Christianity.

You might want to go back and look at the Constitution again.

"Done in Convention by the Unanimous Consent of the States present the Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven."

Someone acknowledged God in the Constitution.

wonder who the President was that signed that legislation into law....Remember that constitution you were talking about, maybe you should read it....
