As done in the past, the republican right is taking things out of context and making it seem like the email came straight from the WH. Not only did it not come from Obama, the email wasn't saying what the OP is claiming.
From the OP's own link...
Late Tuesday evening, the Agriculture Department issued a statement disputing Mr. Browns read of the situation. The department said Mr. Brown had suggested dividing his regions cuts among a number of states but he was told that idea was already part of their sequester plans.
The APHIS budget officer explained that USDA is already proposing these steps in order to avoid furloughs. USDA is committed to doing all we can to minimize the impact of sequester [for] our employees and the farmers, ranchers, and rural communities we serve, the department said in its statement.
And just how do you square that with the quote from the original e-mail,
??you need to make sure you are not contradicting what we said the impact would be,
You can't.
It is just as Obama's Education guy who claimed that pink slips were already going out to teachers and even the Washington Post had to give that 4 Pinnochios.
Obama and his people have been caught lying their asses off about how bad this is going to be and they are ordering their people to make it as bad for the general public as possible.
They can't afford to allow public tours of the White House, but they can afford to pay $277k a year for calligraphy and $400k for Oil paintings of Cabinet people and a million dollars for Obama to go golfing and another half million for Michelle to Vaca somewhere else at the same time.
Just why does DHS need a Billion and half bullets this year?
