My hunch is that a great number of under-30 Obama supporters will be little affected by this sequester. So, the drum beating the President is doing is largely fallling on deaf ears.After all, look how little hoopla accompanied the end of the payroll tax reduced rate on Jan.1. When the world doesn't end on Saturday, does Obama's stock drop?
Or does he get to claim credit for it?
After all, he owns Sequestration. Bob Woodward tells us so.

Woodward continued: “Obama personally approved of the plan for Lew and Nabors to propose the sequester to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid [D-Nev.]. They did so at 2:30 p.m. July 27, 2011, according to interviews with two senior White House aides who were directly involved.”
