The ones who will be eating the "Sequester meal" are about 800,000 DoD civilians who, contrary to popular belief, don't all work in Washington, nor vote Obama. Many of them actually work 50 hours a week keeping our fighters, tankers, bombers, helicopters etc. safe to fly missions. All 800,000 of us will be sent home [furloughed] on or around 1 APR for up to as many as 22 days [could be all at once or spread out over the rest of the fiscal year; hopefully the latter]. The hit to the local economies will be significant. I can't wait for the mid-term elections next year. Gonna be some Dems out of office. I promise.

For every one of those skilled or technical positions there are 6 paper pushers pushing one sheet a paper a week, 10 commissary workers picking their nose while the line moves at a pace of one person every 30 minutes, and 30 janitorial or other non-skilled workers that will not make the connection between progressives and poverty. The DoD already made it clear that there would be no staffing cuts in D.C. where all the real waste and redundancy are.

Boom: "The Obama Sequester"

This video doesn't break any new ground on substance, but its stark juxtaposition of Obama's 2011 veto threat and this week's attempt at blame shift is absolutely damning:
