Obama is going to cut the military budget no matter what sequestration does. It’s better to let sequestration go on and thus give the Republicans more leverage, than give in now, and have the military cut anyway.

No, contrary to FR unpopular belief, Obama cares about some mythological legacy and the 2014 Congressional elections. If the O has another negative quarter brought on by military cuts, that means (Technically) a recession. In 2011, the Boehner had the Dems by the balls and somehow let them off the hook (Some freepers said he was playing an awesome game of chess). Romney lost, so went Boehner’s chess game.
