Only the Washington Times and Fox has reported on an internal email where the current administration is trying to make sure that Obama's message that his Sequester (now called the Republican Sequester by him) will devastate the economy. Surely he is using politics to try to take back Congress in 2014.
First thing he did was to shut the White House doors for tours. He wants to make sure that the current budget will cause financial hardship whenever possible. This is just crap. Typical of his non-leadership.
Then after the sequester is in place he pays for a dinner yesterday for a handful of Republican's so he can say he tried to ch-ch-change 'their' mind on the grand bargin he jammed down their throat last October before the election.
The White House announced Tuesday that it is canceling tours of the president’s home for the foreseeable future as the sequester spending cuts begin to bite and the administration makes good on its warnings of painful decisions.
Announcement of the decision — made in an email from the White House Visitors Office — came hours after The Washington Times reported on another administration email that seemed to show at least one agency has been instructed to make sure the cuts are as painful as President Obama promised they would be.
In the internal email, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service official Charles Brown said he asked if he could try to spread out the sequester cuts in his region to minimize the impact, and he said he was told not to do anything that would lessen the dire impacts Congress had been warned of.
“We have gone on record with a notification to Congress and whoever else that ‘APHIS would eliminate assistance to producers in 24 states in managing wildlife damage to the aquaculture industry, unless they provide funding to cover the costs.’ So it is our opinion that however you manage that reduction, you need to make sure you are not contradicting what we said the impact would be,” Mr. Brown, in the internal email, said his superiors told him.
