HOUR TWO

FOX News Digital Politics Editor Chris Stirewalt weighed in on the upcoming sequester and what President Obama’s motive could be behind it all.  “There are increasing reasons to believe that the next couple of quarters of the economy are going to be bad. And he would like to make sure that the Republicans get the blame for that,” Stirewalt said.

HOUR THREE

Stephen Hayes, FOX News Contributor and Senior Writer for The Weekly Standard, weighed in on the looming sequester.  “When President Obama came to office in 2008 we saw pockets of instability.  I think we’re now seeing regions of instability.  And the idea that things are going to get better with the United States taking a smaller role is… a very dangerous one,” Stirewalt said.
