It’s weird that President Obama is suddenly against the sequester considering he came up with the idea and threatened to veto House Republicans’ attempts to replace it. Twitter took notice:

Obama owns the sequester. He proposed it. He threatened to veto getting rid of it: ow.ly/hyfpP #ObamaSequester

Carney says notion pushed byGOP “spin doctors” pushing that Obama proposed the sequester “is a fanciful confection.”

Sounds like Carney is calling award-winning journalist Bob Woodward a liar. Conservatives were quick to provide evidence of Carney’s misinformation.

For those not familiar, Jack Lew, proposing the sequester here, was the President’s budget director at the time. twitpic.com/c1xt1y

Obama’s soooo mad at Republicans for letting him propose this sequester in 2011.

The Hill: “White House warns sequester would disrupt life of nation” thehill.com/homenews/admin… // So then why did the Obama admin propose it?

— Travis Hall (@traviswhall) February 8, 2013

So when you hear the POTUS say that if the sequester is triggered it is going to hurt the economy… it was his idea. #obamaquester

He can’t run away from the documented truth. It’s Obama’s sequester.

I love how leftists are blaming Republicans for the sequester even though Obama signed it and currently has no replacement plan. #tcot #p2
