Remember, he had a "published plan" over a year ago.
President's Debt Reduction Plan
Obama calls on GOP to come up with alternative to sequester cuts | News & Features
Public safety, food inspections, border security, military readiness and education programs are all at stake if the nearly 8 percent reductions to defense and roughly 5 percent cuts to domestic programs are allowed to kick in this year, Obama said.
"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," Obama said. "These cuts are not smart. They are not fair. They will hurt our economy."
Rather than spur bipartisan compromise, the $1.2 trillion in spending cuts have led to another budget standoff in Washington, one that fits a strikingly familiar pattern. With a hard deadline looming, Obama is warning of dire consequences and Republicans are complaining of the president's lack of leadership.

Remember, the Republican leadership wants disaster victims to "pay" to be rescued. They want to cut school lunches for children.

Republicans will always have the upper hand as long as they care nothing for the majority of the American people.
