As usual, the GOP screams nonstop from the rooftops day after day, but I've not heard very much from the Democrats.

The results of Sequester are potentially VERY damaging. Obama (and all Democrats) can't afford to have this hung around their necks. And the poor, working poor, and middle class SURE can't afford any more economic reverses right now!

I hope I'm missing something, but I can't see anyone stepping up to stop it now.
