President Obama delivering remarks at the White House in Washington, D.C. on Feb. 5, 2013.

The phony fight to blame President Obama for the sequester reaches new lows and now middle class Americans are now only nine days from getting the shaft…again!

Tonight on “The Ed Show” at 8p & 11pET on msnbc, Ed Schultz reveals Speaker John Boehner’s lies and then gets reaction/analysis from Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, (D-FL) Chair of the Democratic National Committee, Steve Benen, Contributing Writer and Blogger with the Washington Monthly and Karen Finney, msnbc Political Analyst and former DNC Communications Director.

Meantime, the president continues to press Republicans to stop the sequester. The BIG Congressional Panel tells us how cuts will hit people in their districts: Rep. Peter Welch (D-VT), Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) and Rep. Cedric Richmond (D-LA)

A hack job drives the right assault on President Obama’s pick for Defense. Tonight, the source of the “Friends of Hamas” smear is identified with Eric Burns, Democratic Strategist, the Founder of Bullfight Strategies and the former President of Media Matters.

A brand new radical Republican governor makes heartless cuts his first order of business.

The pizza man goes on Fox News and calls Obama voters stupid.

And in the BIG Finish, the man who gave the world Sarah Palin is getting destroyed by Tea partiers in Arizona. We’ll have reaction from Maria Teresa Kumar, msnbc Contributor & Founding Executive Director of Voto Latino.

It’s going to be another essential @edshow tonight at 8p/11pET on @msnbctv.
