It’s important that we call it “The Obama Sequestration”, to give their beloved ruler the same status as W, as in “The Bush Tax Cuts.”

Bump. In fact:
It's important that we call it "The Obama Sequestration"
Notice that whenever someone calls it the "Obama Sequestration", the media cries in unison: "The Republicans passed it, too. The Republicans passed it, too." this is proof that it is a good idea.
Looking ahead to the likely ramifications of the tax increases passed a couple of months ago, the economy will be slowing even further. Like many here, I don't really think these pending cuts are more than a drop in the bucket. The way this has been set up, the implementation of the sequestration accomplishes cover for Democrats, something to blame a slowing economy on. As the Obama team has been successful (thus far) in turning the sequestration into a Republican idea, guess who will be blamed when the economy goes from bad to worse?
About the only political win I can see for Republicans is to use the successful Democrat strategy of repeating a talking point over and over again. Thus, this should always be referred to as "The Obama Sequestration".

YEP. This should be SHOUTED from every rooftop.
Trying to spin this into a GOP Propaganda Machine will not work.
Google what Boehner said about the Sequester - he got "98% of what he wanted."
The Sequester punishes the US military the most. 2 million jobs will probably be lost, and hundreds of thousands of people will be furloughed.
