I knew it would happen and I am sure the President did also. No one in congress seemed all that motivated to do anything about it but bitch to the press like they have done for years. John Boehner tells the Senate to get off the asses and do something, but the GOP filibustered every time a plan was set to go to vote, so nothing happened. They still won't work together, so nothing is going to get done.
The cuts make the GOP look bad, even though it is everyones fault.
