Read your history better, buddy. President Obama only agreed to the fiscal cliff in the first place because the Republicans held a gun to his head over the debt ceiling in July 2011 remember? Sequestration was what they came up as a way to give Boehner his ransom that wasn't totally horrific. President Obama's re-election must have been so painful to you...
