Obama: 'I Will Veto Any Effort' To Undo Automatic Cuts
national journal ^ | Nobember 21, 2011 | George E. Condon Jr.
President Obama Monday evening blamed Republicans for the failure of the super committee to meet its deadline for a debt plan and warned that he will veto any attempt to eliminate the automatic spending cuts that go into effect with that failure.
In an appearance in the White House briefing room a little more than an hour after the committee officially conceded failure, the president said his answer to those who want to eliminate those cuts is simple: No. I will veto any effort to get rid of those automatic spending cuts to domestic and defense spending. There will be no easy off-ramps on this one.

I got to say that this is one of the few times I agree with Obama...This forces us the hell out of the middle east as it does what I believe we should do here. With the cuts in defense. Also cutting head long into welfare and other leftist shit!!! YAY!
As I said on another post; you get the feeling at times that Obama's idea of being President is something out of Dr. Seuss. Other times, he's very good to brilliant but sometimes you just can't figure him out.
We've never had a super committee before so there is no script to this. But oh my fucking god...the country is supposedly on the brink of complete financial collapse and these people on the super committee are hopelessly deadlocked. Obama's approach is to state that he'll veto any attempt to eliminate the cuts? How about hauling your ass down to wherever the fuck these losers are meeting and breaking some furniture, turning over some tables and basically using your bully pulpit to either shame these motherfuckers into action and show some leadership.
I'll not go so far as to say that he's hurting the stature of the office. He sure as shit isn't helping it. Say what you want about George W. Bush but you get the feeling that he would have at least walked into the room and mumbled a few expletives at these gutless wonders.
