Sequestration...One Week Later

So we're one week into the dreaded sequestration.  If you've been in a cave or living on Mars, sequestration is that mechanism devised by Obama and his gang of Chicago thugs, oops I meant advisors, to drive across the board cuts in case the Dems and Reps couldn't agree on a budget deal.  He said it would never happen.  He said it could never happen.  He wouldn't let it.  Of course, we now know that it did.  During the run up to implementation we all heard the scare tactics.  Doom and gloom.  Disastrous cuts!  Life as we know it coming to an end.  Well...not so much.  In reality, the cuts are pretty small.  In the scheme of things, they could be managed with some relatively small adjustments.  The disappointing, but by now not surprising thing, is all the hysteria.  Disappointing because I don't a see that as a leadership technique.  Of course, Obama's leadership technique is nothing I'm familiar with.  Nothing I've ever seen.  But the really disappointing thing is all those in government, especially in DOD, who have gone along with it.  Now the stories are coming out about direction to make it hurt.  Make the cuts in the most painful manner possible.  Show the people how much they need big government.  Well...once again not so much.  The bad thing is that now that it has happened, it's an event in the past and they'll just move on.  To to the next crises.  Figure out how to make themselves indispensable.  Get their faces in the news (and we know that the compliant media will accommodate).  And the other bad thing is I don't know what the solution is...
