Looks like we may have dodged yet another apocalypse:
Video: Obama Now Walking Back Dire Sequester Predictions: “Alot of People May Not Notice”
He’s been on the road for what? Two weeks or more talking about the “the parade of horribles” that will befall the nation if Congress doesn’t pass the Democrats’ deficit-raising sequester plan. Now, on the eve of the sequester, we’re hearing a leetle bit of a walk back:
“It’s conceivable that in the first week, first two weeks, first three weeks, first month – that unless your business is directly related to the Defense Dept, unless you live in a town that is directly impacted by a military installation, unless you’re a family that now is trying to figure out where to keep your kids during the day because you just lost a Head Start slot, a lot of people may not notice the full impact of the sequester.”
In the words of Emily Litella, “Nevermind“.
Meanwhile, the Obama administration is blaming the sequester negotiations for their failure to submit a budget on the first Monday in February. No explanation for why they were late those three other years too. Not only that but Obama is setting aside seven whole minutes tomorrow to meet with congressional Republicans.
So there’s that to look forward to.

I’ve reached the point that I’m rooting for the apocalypse to arrive. It would be a helluva way to die.
It’s the night before Sequestermas
Sequestermas Eve.
LOL. I’m right there with you. They’ve been talking up the end of the world so much lately that I’m kind of looking forward to it.
Doesn’t this whole sequester plot remind one of the funniest Hollywood Movies about Hollywood ever made, Get Shorty, only not as funny?
Seven whole minutes, eh?
It’s a photo-op, with Obama pontificating. Wa-wa, wa-wa, wa-wa.
What an asshat.
brought this up from down stairs
put the blame on them. usual song and dance

Whew! That was close! Good thing we have such strong leadership.
Myiq, I just read Night (Eli Wiesel) – I feel all wrung out now. He really put it all down unflinchingly.
I know, huh? For a simple book it really makes you think.
Even just the beginning, when Moishe the Beadle escapes and comes back to try to warn them and they all think he’s crazy.
Yup. I noticed the timing of that.

per harry reid to the press: you have an obligation to report that democrats are right!!!!!!!!!!
silly me I thought their obligation was to report true facts
so according to backtrack the whole country will cease to exist. life will not longer be as we knew it.
ok
maxing out my credit cards
buying the Audi I wanted
telling off all those who annoyed me over the years
drinking only top shelf
tell my kids even though I love them, nothing left to leave them
i am thinking of a few other things that are not fit to print
I did all that before the Mexican Flying Pig Flu killed us all.
That’s what I get for listening to RD.
Heh! From a Catholic friend of mine:
I’m tired of hearing there is no Pope, OMG what will happen with NO POPE? What do people think will happen …….”Catholics Gone Wild” ?!?!
Dandy Tiger borrowed my copy of “Catholic Schoolgirls Gone Wild”
Why am I not surprised?
{{looks up from watching video}} Oops, found out.
Very good point.
Pat Caddell:
Except Nixon was competent. Corrupt, but competent.
Nixon was corrupt, but I don’t think that was his primary flaw. His primary flaw is that he was paranoid. He wasn’t a people person, not a gladhander, very private, and paranoid. It was his distrust of other people and suspicious nature that led to the corruption. I don’t think he naturally gravitated to corruption (as some do), I think his paranoia drove him there in the desire to protect himself. Sad, because he was in many ways a good president before he spiraled out of control.
This is like a scene out of a Cheech and Chong movie. Marijuana cannon firing bundles of weed over the border:

Frick’ing geniuses. I say the ones who came up with those get automatic free green cards. We need more of that kind of thinking. 🙂
“Nixon was corrupt, but I don’t think that was his primary flaw. His primary flaw is that he was paranoid”
*********
I don’t recall that traditional corruption, as exhibited by the Obama administration, was part of the Nixon WH. He was very intelligent, very paranoid and like Harry Truman, not being part of the elite, suffered from an inferiority complex. IMO, Bush and Obama have improved Nixon’s place in history considerably.
The comments are NOT supportive of federal workers.
Less than 1 hour until the Sequester Apocalypse arrives. Call everyone you love and tell them goodbye while there is still time!
Can’t. Restraining order.
I think it’s okay to panic. We are popeless. The Pope has thrown in the towel. When the Pope quits, you know you’re in real trouble.
Congress is something else! So is Obama. After dire predictions about the end of the world they all promptly….go on vacation. WTH? I thought this was the biggest crisis our nation has ever experienced? I thought airports were going to close, children could no longer go to school, old people would be starving in the streets? WTH? They go on vacation??
They are all hiding in government bunkers, waiting for the smoke to clear.
If only the President would pull a pope and quit too.
If Obama was a Catholic priest would he eat little boys or molest dogs?
Yes to the backup generator and I think it’s a good idea to check your earthquake supplies. Then proceed with the Catholics Gone Wild/Sequester-rama event.
Todd. Ve not hurt chou. Ve be peesful. Ve be nice pipple. Tell where you be und ve vill find chou.
I guess this means we can finally break into our reserves of creamed corn?
You have RESERVES??? What are you, some kinda doomsday prepper freak?
I went to a garage sale and bought a bunch of Civil Defense rations, including powdered eggs, government cheese and 100 cans of Spam.
Most of the cans hardly have any rust on them.
OMG! That’s not rust. That’s zombie spores. RUN!!
Spam tastes like . . . BRAINS!
AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
Hey! those guys have Twinkies!!
Funny as hell.
