I am really stunned that President Obama thinks we are all stupid.

Most of us understand the sequester cuts that began March 1 would not hurt anyone. These cuts are in projected increases. Please explain how services already being paid for can be affected by cuts in future increases. The president is acting like a spoiled child who did not get his way so he wants to make all of us suffer. This is not leadership.

The president acts like he has no responsibility for this mess when in fact it was his idea. His policies are why we have fewer people working and why gas prices have gone to almost $4 a gallon. Instead, he throws away our money on bankrupt solar firms.

Funny how everyone I know, as well as my own family, has had to tighten their belts and cut back to live within our budgets. Yet not only does the federal government not cut back, they have not passed a budget for four years! Now, the White House is closed to the public? How can that be when it belongs to the public?

Wake up before it is too late.
