Plouffe responding to Woodward's commentary on Obama sequestration cuts:
The only thing left out of Plouffe's post was a snarky "snick".................liberals are experts at going negative.....5 minutes in the Sandbox will tell you so.
changing the subject again, Whirlyturd.
And by "going negative" in response to most any of your posts turns it into a positive.
Try posting some substance or posing a question for debate once in a while. .encourage some open discussion rather than the "If you don't agree with me you're an asshole" threads that you crisp out by the dozen.
Don't start no shit, won't be no shit. Originally Posted by Yssup Rider

WTF is the Director of the President's National Economic Council doing injecting himself into national affairs issue ? Originally Posted by Whirlaway

Speaking of deflecting from the facts:[/QUOTE]
Have we now moved from President Obama threatening Woodward to Sparling [COLOR="rgb(160, 82, 45)"](it is Sperling) [/COLOR]threatening Woodward? [COLOR="rgb(160, 82, 45)"]I don't know anyone who said it was Obama who made the threat ! Again, you try to deflect with a lie.[/COLOR]
Did you even read the email? Do you seriously equate what was said to Woodward as "a threat?" Or did Woodward see a chance here to further feed his attention-whore drama queen need to be noticed and to quack into any nearby microphone just so long as it can pick up the sound of his voice....

Bob:
I apologize for raising my voice in our conversation today. My bad. I do understand your problems with a couple of our statements in the fall — but feel on the other hand that you focus on a few specific trees that gives a very wrong perception of the forest. But perhaps we will just not see eye to eye here.
But I do truly believe you should rethink your comment about saying saying that Potus asking for revenues is moving the goal post. I know you may not believe this, but as a friend, I think you will regret staking out that claim. The idea that the sequester was to force both sides to go back to try at a big or grand barain with a mix of entitlements and revenues (even if there were serious disagreements on composition) was part of the DNA of the thing from the start. It was an accepted part of the understanding — from the start. Really. It was assumed by the Rs on the Supercommittee that came right after: it was assumed in the November-December 2012 negotiations. There may have been big disagreements over rates and ratios — but that it was supposed to be replaced by entitlements and revenues of some form is not controversial. (Indeed, the discretionary savings amount from the Boehner-Obama negotiations were locked in in BCA: the sequester was just designed to force all back to table on entitlements and revenues.)
I agree there are more than one side to our first disagreement, but again think this latter issue is diffferent. Not out to argue and argue on this latter point. Just my sincere advice. Your call obviously.
My apologies again for raising my voice on the call with you. Feel bad about that and truly apologize.
Gene
From Woodward to Sperling on Feb. 23, 2013
Gene: You do not ever have to apologize to me. You get wound up because you are making your points and you believe them. This is all part of a serious discussion. I for one welcome a little heat; there should more given the importance. I also welcome your personal advice. I am listening. I know you lived all this. My partial advantage is that I talked extensively with all involved. I am traveling and will try to reach you after 3 pm today. Best, Bob
