From "Can Obama Be Stopped?" by Daniel Greenfield:
From Obama's perspective, the recent sequestration "crisis" is all about destroying the GOP majority in 2014. If he is successful, we'll see a replay of 2008-2010. On a bigger scale.

Obama's Playbook
From "Can Obama Be Stopped?" by Daniel Greenfield:
The big mistake of the last election was assuming that public dissatisfaction with Obama would be enough to remove him....Americans SHOULD be able to see that playbook for what it is. But they don't! And the GOP isn't even making a dent in Obama's playbook. Even people who should know better are whining and running scared as sequestration looms.
