President warns of 'draconian' military cuts | TheHill: President Obama warned Congress about the possible effects of sequestration during a rare visit to the Pentagon on Wednesday, saying lawmakers needed to make sure the military has "the equipment and the technology that's necessary for them to be able to succeed at their mission."
"We have done some enormous work, and I want to thank everybody sitting around this table to continue to make our forces leaner, meaner, more effective, more tailored to the particular challenges that we’re going to face in the 21st century," Obama said following a meeting with Pentagon leadership.
"But we also have to make sure that Congress is working with us to avoid, for example, some of the draconian cuts that are called for in sequestration."
