President Obama and his helpers have suggested that not a real cut but a lowering of the increase in spending of 85 billion will bring about unbelievable horrors.

That decrease in growth of spending need not bring any serious change and could easily be worked into the budget. However does it not now have to be made into a crisis to save the credibility of Obama and his administration's spokesman?

They must now create a crisis or be exposed as hysterically ill informed fearmongers.

Isn't that obvious?
