The sequester would have been fine except for one thing. A friend works for a Federal agency; they got the word that, like the sequester itself, the cuts will be across the board, affecting all equally. Except for upper management. That’s so vital that there will be no cuts to upper management. In fact, there will be extra cuts at the bottom (where everything gets done) to add to upper management, so they can better cope with the cuts.

As always, republicans set up straw men that don’t exist (in this case, a media that will not criticize Obama, which is utter nonsense, of course), and are amazed for five seconds when it’s proven that they don’t exist, then go back to believing in the straw men again because their tiny pin brains can’t process the dissonance.
