More likely, the Republicans who are hyping this issue up are just playing politics during an election year.
No, more likely the President doesn't want the pink slips going out. What's the harm in fair warning for something that might not happen? What does the OMB gain but discouragin that warning...I mean, since we all know it's just a warning for something that is "unlikely to happen anyway".
It's really a non issue because it's well known that budget cuts on the Military would bring lay offs. The voters who work for these defense corporations already know they may lose their jobs shortly after January. It's a non story really.
Not to the level of sequestration. A related issue to sequestration is the fact the President was unable to avoid such a drastic measure.
It's very much a story, and very relevant.
