Krauthammer: Obama’s New Budget Battle

Charles Krauthammer said Thursday President Obama is “doing a dance in the end zone” over the new budget battle when he’s “not even past the 50-yard line.”

Charles Krauthammer, said Thursday on “Special Report with Bret Baier” that President Obama is “doing a dance in the end zone” over the new budget battle started with Republicans to end automatic budget cuts known as sequestration when he’s “not even past the 50-yard line.”

Since Republicans have control of both the House and the Senate, Krauthammer suggested Congress offer and pass a bill that actually removes the sequester on defense and redoes other priorities.

“Let the President have it on his desk,” argued Krauthammer. “If he vetoes it you re-impose, but I think to give into the President on this issue the sequester but to give into the president on this issue and to  be bribed into supporting the military in which he’s Commander-in-Chief. You’d think he’d care about the levels of funding in the Defense Department.”
