I wouldn’t be surprised if 0bama uses the NK nuke test to argue that the sequestration places America’s forces at great risk at time of danger. Not that he cares about defense, he just wants to stop the other cuts more than he wants to cut defense.

Odd how NK could have given him the perfect excuse to make this pitch if he does so.

Go ahead and pass the sequestration, then immediately pass a bill to refund the military only, and reduce somewhere else. Democrats couldn't argue with it, because they're using the military cuts as an excuse to forget the whole thing.
