The White House on Wednesday backed a proposal to temporarily eliminate spending cuts disrupting U.S. air travel, while politicians in Washington scrambled to avoid blame as the effects of the cuts started to be felt around the country.

White House spokesman Carney on Wednesday blamed Republicans for underestimating the negative impact of the spending reductions.

"Republicans in Congress made a political tactical decision to embrace the sequester," he said. Cuts proposed by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan would bite even more deeply than those under the sequester, he added.

"We share the frustration and we warned about these very problems, and we think Congress ... ought to take action to do away with the sequester so that we don't suffer these consequences," he said.

It is all about husbanding resources. Obama is totally opposed to that.

WTF cares?

Nothing causes disruptions in air travel more than TSA.

That is what it was meant to do is piss people off and blame the Republicans for the Sequester 0 wanted.
Not rocket science here.

And yet the sequester was approved by Obama.
