Maybe this is why Obama felt the need to threaten Woodward. Call out a bully on his bullshit and it makes them mad. I have never seen so much hand wringing over chump change. A cut of 48 billion is nothing. A drop in the bucket. Obama wanted the sequester and now he is going to get it. Why the hell is he crying like a bitch about it? We spend $4 billion a day. Hell, just stop paying employees for all the federal holidays and we would cover that amount of the sequester.

the automatic spending cuts were initiated by the White House and were the brainchild of Lew and White House congressional relations chief Rob Nabors — probably the foremost experts on budget issues in the senior ranks of the federal government. Obama personally approved of the plan for Lew and Nabors to propose the sequester to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.). They did so at 2:30 p.m. July 27, 2011, according to interviews with two senior White House aides who were directly involved.
