And the argument goes on and on and on... I must say that Obama seems to be pretty aggressive in his attempted bullying. Though I like Boehner's simple answer.
I was your idea to implement the necessary cuts in this manner. Now if you do not like these cuts, please propose different ones.
Of course, Obama's answer is that we should raise taxes instead, even though we already did that earlier this year. No surprise there.

Amazing this bill was signed off by the President. I am only amazed because it must have been signed in the middle of the night with no cameras. Pretty much no one covered it...

I am not interested in cutting at all. Therefore, I don't know why I am under some obligation to propose them. The specific cuts the president was willing to make, were soundly rejected by the Republicans during the last campaign.

Which cuts were recommended by Obama, and rejected by the GOP?
I remember medicare price controls, but those were implemented.
I guess my thought is that Obama agreed with delivering real cuts when he proposed and signed the sequester. Now if he doesn't like the planned cuts, then he should propose others in different areas that sum to the same total.
The 700 billion dollar cut in Medicare. Look, we have to take the heat for the tax increases. It really is too much for us to take the heat for Social Security and health care cuts.

I personally don't care where he finds the cuts. No one said it has to be from SS or Medicare...
I don't care where they find the cuts, either. All I know is that these "terrible cuts" are not cuts at all, because spending and debt will continue to increase WITH this sequester. Maybe, if Republicans can quiet their knees long enough to let the sequester happen, folks will finally wake up to the fact that all of this wolf-crying is exactly that.
