AND HE FOLDS: Obama Calls For Delaying Spending Cuts

Sequester?  We don't need no stinkin' sequester.

Deficit President chickens out at the last minute.  $20 trillion here we come.
Story just hit the wires.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - President Barack Obama will ask Congress Tuesday to craft a small package of short-term spending cuts and tax revenue to put off the automatic across-the-board cuts, known as the sequester, that are scheduled to kick in March 1, according to press reports. The request will come in a public statement from the president at the White House early this afternoon, the reports said. If Congress does not act, about $85 billion would have to be cut from government agencies, including the Defense Department, this fiscal year. Earlier Tuesday, House Speaker John Boehner used a press conference to urge Obama to offer proposals to replace the spending cuts. A White House official said the small package was needed to give the White House and Congress more time to achieve a bigger budget deal.

These aren't even cuts.  They are small reductions to future spending increases.  I covered it in full angry detail here.
