Cantor: Obama Offering ‘False Choices’

1
>>Follow Matzav On Whatsapp!<<

eric-cantorHouse Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said today that President Obama was offering “false choices” on the looming sequester, as Republicans try to cast the blame for the automatic spending cuts squarely on the White House.

Cantor said in a statement that the cuts set to go into effect on March 1 – which he agreed were neither smart nor fair – would only be implemented because Democrats refuse to restrain federal spending.

The majority leader added that, after the recent “fiscal cliff” deal raised some $600 billion in revenue, it was time for Washington to move to the spending side of the ledger.

“President Obama has said that unless he gets a second tax hike in eight weeks, he will be forced to let criminals loose on the streets, the meat at your grocery store won’t be inspected and emergency responders will be unable to do their jobs,” Cantor said in his statement.

“These are false choices. We are faced with the negative effects of the sequester because Democrats have not been able to take even the smallest step towards controlling spending.”

Cantor’s statement comes just over a week before the $85 billion in cuts would start going into effect, and as Washington observers are increasingly pessimistic that a deal to avert the cuts can be reached by the end of the month.

With Congress out of Washington this week, the president has gone on a public relations blitz in his own attempts to tag Republicans as responsible for the sequester.

Obama held an event this week with first responders, who the White House said could face furlough under the sequester, and has sat for interviews with television reporters from across the country.

    It’s Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, and a man makes his way to his seat right at center ice. He sits down, noticing that the seat next to him is empty. He leans over and asks his neighbor if someone will be sitting there. “No” says the neighbor. “The seat is empty.” “This is incredible,” said the man. “Who in their right mind would have a seat like this for the Stanley Cup and not use it?” The neighbor says, “Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. I was supposed to come with my wife, but she passed away. This is the first Stanley Cup we haven’t been to together since we got married.” “Oh, I’m so sorry to hear that. That’s terrible… But couldn’t you find someone else, a friend or relative, or even a neighbor to take the seat?” The man shakes his head. “No,” he says. “They’re all at the funeral.”

    Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson were going camping. They pitched their tent under the stars and went to sleep. Sometime in the middle of the night Holmes woke Watson up and said: “Watson, look up at the stars and tell me, what do you see?”
    Watson replied: “I see millions and millions of stars.”

    Holmes said: “And what do you deduce from that?”

    Watson replied: “Well, if there are millions of stars, and if even a few of those have planets, it’s quite likely there are some planets like earth out there. And if there are a few planets like earth out there, there might also be life.”

    And Holmes said: “Watson, you fool, it means that somebody stole our tent.”

    A young ventriloquist is touring the clubs and one night he’s doing a show in a small club in a small town in Arkansas. With his dummy on his knee, he’s going through his usual dumb blonde jokes when a blonde woman in the fourth row stands on her chair and starts shouting: ”I’ve heard enough of your stupid blonde jokes. What makes you think you can stereotype women that way? What does the color of a person’s hair have to do with her worth as a human being? It’s guys like you who keep women like me from being respected at work and in the community and from reaching our full potential as a person, because you and your kind continue to perpetuate discrimination against, not only blondes, but women in general…and all in the name of humor!”

    The ventriloquist is embarrassed and begins to apologize, when the blonde yells, ”You stay out of this, mister! I’m talking to that little jerk on your knee!”

    The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.

    As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5-year phase-in plan that would become known as ‘Euro-English’.

    In the first year, ‘s’ will replace the soft ‘c’. Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard ‘c’ will be dropped in favour of ‘k’. This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter. There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome ‘ph’ will be replaced with ‘f’. This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.

    In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.

    Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.

    Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent ‘e’ in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.
    By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as Replasing ‘th’ with ‘z’ and ‘w’ with ‘v’.

    During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary ‘o’ kan be dropd from vords kontaining ‘ou’ and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensibl riten styl.

    Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.

    Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

    If zis mad you smil, pleas pas on to oza pepl.

    A man feared his wife wasn’t hearing as well as she used to and he
    thought she might need a hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach
    her, he called the family Doctor to discuss the problem.

    The Doctor told him there is a simple informal test the husband
    could perform to give the Doctor a better idea about her hearing loss.

    Here’s what you do,” said the Doctor, “stand about 40 feet away from
    her, and in a normal con versational speaking tone see if she hears you.

    If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a
    response.”

    That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he was
    in the den. He says to himself, “I’m about 40 feet away, let’s see what
    happens.” Then in a normal tone he asks, ‘Honey, what’s for dinner?”

    No response.

    So the husband moves closer to the k itchen, about 30 feet from his
    wife and repeats, “Honey, what’s for dinner?”

    Still no response.

    Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from
    his wife and asks, “Honey, what’s for dinner?”

    Again he gets no response.

    So, he walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. “Honey,
    what’s for dinner?”

    Again there is no response.

    So he walks right up behind her. “Honey, what’s for dinner?”

    (I just love this)

    “Ralph, for the FIFTH time, CHICKEN!”

    A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below.
    She shouted to him, “Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour
    ago, but I don’t know where I am.”
    The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, “You’re in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.
    “She rolled her eyes and said, “You must be a Republican.” “I am,” replied the man. “How did you know?”

    “Well,” answered the balloonist, “everything you told me is technically Correct. However, I have no idea what to do with your information, and I’m still lost. Frankly, you’ve not been much help to me.”

    The man smiled and responded, “You must be an Obama Democrat.”
    “I am,” replied the balloonist. “How did you know?”
    “Well,” said the man, “you don’t know where you are or where you are going. You’ve risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air.
    You made a promise you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem.
    You’re in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but
    somehow, now it’s my fault.”

    I can’t say which, but the man was wearing a colored shirt, and had already been vaccinated against H1N1 flu. He did not own a gun, but had two dogs, one of which was an excellent guard dog. He planned on eating three sufganiyot for Chanukah 5770, and wouldn’t enter a shidduch goral even if it included frozen girls. His shirt smelled slightly of mold, though he had tried everything to get rid of the smell. He addressed his rav thus: “What’s up, Rav?” He wore jeans ever since he was in yeshiva.

    A doctor in Chelem answers

    Q: Doctor, I’ve heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life.

    Is this true?

    A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that’s it… don’t

    waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up

    your heart will not make you live longer; that’s like saying you can

    extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer?

    Take a nap.

    Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?

    A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay

    and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more

    than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system.

    Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass

    (green leafy vegetable).

    Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?

    A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine,

    that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even

    more of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms

    up!

    Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?

    A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to

    one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.

    Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular

    exercise program?

    A: Can’t think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain…

    Good!

    Q: Aren’t fried foods bad for you?

    A: YOU’RE NOT LISTENING!….. Foods are fried these days in

    vegetable oil. In fact, they’re permeated in it. How could getting

    more vegetables be bad for you?

    Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around

    the middle?

    A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You

    should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.

    Q: Is chocolate bad for me ?

    A: Are you crazy? HELLO! Cocoa beans! Another vegetable! It’s the

    best feel good food around!

    Q: Is swimming good for your figure?

    A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me!

    Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle?

    A: Hey! ‘Round’ is a shape!

    Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had

    about food and diets.

    And remember:

    ‘Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of

    arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather

    to skid in sideways — Chardonnay in one hand, chocolate in the other

    — body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming WOO HOO!

    What a Ride!’

    AND…..

    For those of you who watch what you eat, here’s the final word on

    nutrition and health. It’s a relief to know the truth after all those

    conflicting nutritional studies.

    1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks

    than Americans.

    2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than

    Americans.

    3. The Chinese drink very little red wine & suffer fewer heart attacks

    than Americans.

    4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart

    attacks than Americans.

    5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats

    and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

    CONCLUSION:

    Eat and drink what you like..

    Speaking English is apparently what kills you!!

    There was a student that made a lot of problems in class; he fought
    with classmates, made a lot of noise…

    The teacher tried a lot of things, but nothing helped.

    He decided to tell the father about his son’s behavior.

    Father: “What do you want me to do?”

    Teacher: “Maybe take him for a check-up.”

    Father: “How is that going to help?”

    Te acher: “Maybe the child should take Ritalin (a calming drug).”

    Father: “How am I going to get this Ritalin?”

    Teacher: “No problem, I’ll get it, and the child should take the pill
    every morning and everything will be o.k….”

    Father: “Who is going to remember to give it to the child every day in
    a house full of children?”

    Teacher: “I’ll worry about it. I’ll make sure he takes it every morning.”

    Father: “But I don’t want the whole class to know about it.”

    Teacher: “No, no, I’ll make sure that no one sees. I’ll put the pill
    in the teacher’s room next to the coffee machine. Every morning I’ll
    send your son to make my coffee and at the same time he’ll take his
    pill. Like this no one will know.”

    The father agreed to the plan. Every morning the teacher prepared the
    pill next to the coffee machine and went into class. After a few
    minutes the child would come in with the coffee, and everything went
    fine.

    And now the atmosphere in the class was calm. The child wasn’t sent
    out of class and there were no fights!

    After a few weeks, the mother asked the child: “Nu, what’s doing in class?”

    Child: “Great!”

    Mother: “What happened that everything’s so good?”
    Child: “It’s very simple. Every morning the teacher sends me to make
    his coffee. I go into the teacher’s room and there there’s a special
    pill! I put the pill into the coffee and after he finishes to drink
    it, everything in the class is 100%!!!”

    The mayor of Haifa was very worried about a plague of pigeons in Haifa.
    He could not remove the pigeons from the city. All of Haifa was full of
    pigeon poop, the people of Haifa could not walk on the sidewalks, or drive
    on the roads.

    It was costing a fortune to keep the streets and sidewalks clean.
    One day a man came to City Hall and offered the Mayor a proposition.
    ‘I can rid your beautiful city of its plague of pigeons without any cost to
    the city. But, you must promise not to ask me any questions.
    Or, you can pay me one million dollars to ask one question.’
    The mayor considered the offer briefly and accepted the free proposition.

    The next day the man climbed to the top of City Hall, opened his coat, and
    released a blue pigeon. The blue pigeon circled in the air and flew up into
    the bright blue sky.

    All the pigeons in Haifa saw the blue pigeon and gathered up in the air
    behind the blue pigeon. The Haifa pigeons followed the blue pigeon as she
    flew southward out of the city.

    The next day the blue pigeon returned completely alone to the man atop City
    Hall.

    The Mayor was very impressed. He felt the man and the blue pigeon had
    performed a wonderful miraculous service to rid Haifa of the plague of
    pigeons. Even though the man with the pigeon had charged nothing, the mayor
    presented him with a check for 1 million dollars and told the man that,
    indeed, he did have a question to ask and even though they had agreed to no
    fee and the man had rid the city of pigeons, he decided to pay the 1 million
    just to get to ask ONE question.
    The man accepted the money and told the mayor to ask his ONE question.
    Do you think the Mayor is going to ask how the blue pigeon led all the
    pigeons away?

    Do you think the Mayor is going to ask where all the pigeons went?
    Do you think he is going to ask where the man got the blue pigeon?

    Nooooooo!

    The mayor asked:

    ‘Do you have a blue Araber?’
