Obama can't pay for the military, because of his dirty deal with people who want to collect money for free from the government, who in return vote for him for the enjoyment of taking free money paid for by somebody else's hard work, while they get a free ride.From Thousands of Walter Reed Employees to Be Furloughed due to Sequester

All our Commander-in-Chief cares about is himself and publicity. Out servicemembers mean nothing to him.
Didn't obama seek to eliminate tax loopholes that don't help the economy in order to avoid sequestration? And, didn't the gop declare govt itself is the problem?
Paul Ryan Championed Sequester Since 2004, Now Calls His Own Idea Not Good Government
Though I agree the Africa trip, while probably less expensive than W's which included grants for aids drugs, is tone deaf.
Obama can't pay for the military, because of his dirty deal with people who want to collect money for free from the government, who in return vote for him for the enjoyment of taking free money paid for by somebody else's hard work, while they get a free ride.
Obama's credo: Calling all friends! You don't have to spend your life working! Vote for me and I will take care of you! You don't even have to be nice! Anyone who tries to make you be nice will be destroyed in my court system. All you have to do is vote for me and be willing to collect free money for the rest of your life. What do you have to lose with idiots for taxpayers we can force to work so you can play!!!
The sequester was written by Congress, not Obama.
The cuts called for in the sequester are spelled out entirely in the bill. Obama has no leeway in terms of deciding what should be cut, or by how much.
If you're pissed that Walter Reed employees are being furloughed, blame it on the people who wrote the bill that furloughed them, rather than the President who fought against it.
All it did was LIMIT THE GROWTH of the budget!!!!!

Obama is the Chief Executive of the United States of American and, as such, is responsible for managing the budgets of federal agencies outside those specified by Congress. [Government 101 which certain posters seem to not understand]
And, the Sequester DID NOT remove any spending from the budget!
The administration is planning on HIRING thousands of people to guard over Obamacare. It gave out $700 MILLIONS to IRS employees.
And they can't find the money to care for those men and women who have given so much for this country?

Here is the text of the sequester law: THOMAS (Library of Congress)
I would suggest that you read it before making more of a fool of yourself. The sequester bill specifically disallows the President from modifying any of the budget changes via discrestionary spending, and specifies exact cuts to each and every government "account".
An absolute disgrace if it happens.
Veteran needing medical care from an injury during active duty? - can't afford it.
Meanwhile the FED is still spending/borrowing $85,000,000,000 per MONTH in bond buying, toxic asset relief (aka paying off dead-risky loans by major banks).
The choice is clear.

There is no "choice". That's the point you guys aren't getting. The law was passed, and you guys cheered it - and now you're trying to blame Obama for something he has no control over.

Yes there is a choice idiot.
I don't call people names often, but you deserve it after a post like that.
Your favorite administration is allowing $85,000,000,000 PER MONTH to be spent on the Wall Street relief fund, making this administration the single largest trickle down economic principles in practice in US history - and this is all you got to say to that.
There is always a choice, the President has WELL WITHIN HIS POWERS to take from one pot and give to another. That is not happening, so sheep like you can blame the opposition for it.
