Boehner argues that sequester was Obama's idea so he needs to fix it and stop blaming Republicans.
But Boehner reminded Obama that the automatic cut idea was originally
proffered by the White House during the debt-ceiling talks of 2011. He
said Congress "reluctantly accepted the president's demand" and claimed
it's now up to Obama to find the escape hatch.
"So, as the president's outrage about the sequester grows in coming
days, Republicans have a simple response: Mr. President, we agree that
your sequester is bad policy. What spending are you willing to cut to
replace it?" Boehner asked.
