Why was the President golfing with sequester looming?

President Obama is working hard to avoid the sequester, but it's not up to him. It's up to Congress. Its Boehner’s sequester!

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/20... Paul Ryan selling the sequester over and over and admitting it’s what the Republicans wanted on video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYzjMs-6M... 174 Republicans voted for the sequester. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) on sequester: Sen.

Rand Paul (R-KY) on sequester: Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) on sequester: I would say the only thing that’s worse than cutting national defense is not having any scheduled cuts at all take place. Rep.

Steve Scalise (R-LA) on sequester: The consensus is we want the sequester numbers to come in and to finally see reduced spending in Washington. Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-SC) on sequester: We want to keep the sequester in place and take the cuts we can get.

Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA) on sequester.

Intelligent answer. Remarks by the President on the Sequester South Court Auditorium 10:50 A.M. EST THE PRESIDENT: Good morning, everybody. (Applause.) Please have a seat.

Well, welcome to the White House. As I said in my State of the Union address last week, our top priority must be to do everything we can to grow the economy and create good, middle-class jobs. That’s our top priority.

That's our North Star. That drives every decision we make. And it has to drive every decision that Congress and everybody in Washington makes over the next several years.

And that’s why it’s so troubling that just 10 days from now, Congress might allow a series of automatic, severe budget cuts to take place that will do the exact opposite. It won't help the economy, won't create jobs, will visit hardship on a whole lot of people. Here’s what’s at stake.

Over the last few years, both parties have worked together to reduce our deficits by more than $2.5 trillion. More than two-thirds of that was through some pretty tough spending cuts. The rest of it was through raising taxes -- tax rates on the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans.

And together, when you take the spending cuts and the increased tax rates on the top 1 percent, it puts us more than halfway towards the goal of $4 trillion in deficit reduction that economists say we need to stabilize our finances. Now, Congress, back in 2011, also passed a law saying that if both parties couldn’t agree on a plan to reach that $4 trillion goal, about a trillion dollars of additional, arbitrary budget cuts would start to take effect this year. And by the way, the whole design of these arbitrary cuts was to make them so unattractive and unappealing that Democrats and Republicans would actually get together and find a good compromise of sensible cuts as well as closing tax loopholes and so forth.

And so this was all designed to say we can't do these bad cuts; let’s do something smarter. That was the whole point of this so-called sequestration. Unfortunately, Congress didn’t compromise.

They haven't come together and done their jobs, and so as a consequence, we've got these automatic, brutal spending cuts that are poised to happen next Friday. Now, if Congress allows this meat-cleaver approach to take place, it will jeopardize our military readiness; it will eviscerate job-creating investments in education and energy and medical research. It won’t consider whether we’re cutting some bloated program that has outlived its usefulness, or a vital service that Americans depend on every single day.

It doesn’t make those distinctions.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
