A couple of moths ago I signed a petition on the White House web site advocating the secession of Georgia from the Union. This was known in advance to be a non-starter and for me was more an expression of protest. The response received was talked about in an earlier post boiled down to the answer of your protest is crap, which it was.
Apparently my email address as part of the signature process has emboldened the White House staff to issue me periodic statements of position. This offering must be based on the premise that I agree (aka give a shit) what the President thinks about anything. Truth is, I have interest in studying the President's position, a second truth is I generally find it to be loaded with misdirecting information.
Friday another of these emails arrived, sent at 1:05 PM EST, just after the sequester became reality. This is text of the email.

The President has made little to no effort to compromise with the House of Representative, as recently as a month ago he cleaned the Republican's clock by getting tax increases passed with no substantive budget cuts. It is well known that the increases in taxation discussed are minuscule when compared simply to the increases in spending of the past four years. The problem is we have had huge increases in spending that have not stimulated the economy in a way that anybody hoped. The President suggests that he has cut spending 2.5 trillion dollars, this is a flat out lie. The President says in this linked video that the problem is not entitlements, that experts have said so; as in the Indiana Jones movie, "top people" are on it; too bad that the President's "top people" cannot recognize the truths of Hayek, or even possess the common sense connection of changes in spending to changes in debt load.
President Obama seems to be a skilled political fighter, he sucks as a leader because he cannot separate the illogical projections of liberal dogma, from tangible evidence of opposite results.
This video link that is shown in the email and referenced above.Starting today, our government will need to grapple with a set of arbitrary budget cuts that will hurt the economy, make life harder for middle-class families, and threaten our national security. That's what Washington means when it talks about the sequester.Not everyone will feel the consequences of these cuts immediately, but if sequestration is allowed to continue, it will make life more difficult for Americans all across the country. That's a fact that no one disputes.And the reason we are here is because some members of Congress have made a choice to prioritize these cuts over closing tax loopholes for the wealthy. But there is still time for them to make a different choice and undo this manufactured crisis.Today, President Obama discussed this situation and answered questions from the press. "This is not a win for anybody," he said. "This is a loss for the American people."Help us make sure your friends and neighbors know what's at stake. Share this video of President Obama on Facebook or Twitter -- or even just forward this email to your friends.
