Obama and the Democrats have a disturbing reaction to the deaths of 7 U.S. Marines

On March 18, 2013, 7 U.S. Marines were killed in a training accident at Hawthorne Army Depot in Nevada.  Immediately afterward, Obama and his Democrat cronies in Congress manipulated this tragedy to continue lying about the effects of the sequester:

“Just hours after an explosion killed seven Marines in his home state, Nevada Sen. Harry Reid used the fatal training accident as an opportunity to talk about the potential impact of the sequester on military readiness… ”I don’t know how anyone could link this accident to budget cuts. Budget cuts would never cause Marines to operate in unsafe conditions,” one Marine official told Fox News.”

While Reid’s spokesperson and the Obama Administration in general deny that Reid actually blamed the accident on sequestration, judge for yourself:

“These men and women, our Marines, were training there in Hawthorne and with the sequester it’s going to cut this stuff back.”
– Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (Democrat-Nevada)

And what about Obama’s personal reaction to the tragedy?  “At 10:40 a.m. Tuesday, the @BarackObama Twitter feed posted a tweet that said “Snack time” along with a photo of two small children picking up apples from a bowl in the Oval Office.” In other words, this is Obama’s reaction on the morning of March 19th to the deaths of 7 U.S. Marines on the night of March 18th:
