The Obama Admin is going all out trying to scare people about the sequester. Not one proposal to avoid it, though. Hello? Media? #tcot #p2

And no one knows that better than the Democrats, who are knee-deep in a campaign to terrify the American public about the chaos that will ensue if the looming sequestration cuts — which, as it happens, originated in the Democratic White House — go into effect this week.
The House is back in session today, it's time to get to work and #StoptheSequester

#StopTheSequester MT @whitehouse: "…These cuts don’t have to happen. Congress can turn them off anytime with a little compromise." -BO
— Rep. Gwen Moore (@RepGwenMoore) February 25, 2013
Yep! All it takes is a little compromise, according to President Practical. He’s so practical, in fact, that he’ll be traveling to Newport News, Virginia, tomorrow, to address the sequester head-on:
SHOT: Obama: At some point we have to focus on governing. CHASER: Obama heads to VA tomorrow to hold press event about sequester.
— Joe Pounder (@PounderFile) February 25, 2013
And just to show how serious he is, he’ll be dropping some serious taxpayer money, to the tune of $180,000 an hour:
Obama to take $180K-per-hour Air Force One to Newport News & back to decry sequestration cuts. http://t.co/ppJUM8EqGf

Hey — no one ever said saving money was cheap.
What is cheap? Obama’s talk.
While Obama campaigns to scare people about the sequester, why isn't he going through the budget "line by line" like he promised? #tcot
