Are we losing the sequester narrative?

It's driving me crazy that the GOP is painting the looming financial cliff as Obama's doing. Granted, Harry Reid is abetting them in that characterization, but why the funk isn't anyone saying: hey, GOP, you voted for this! Dems were split down the middle, but you guys voted for this by nearly a 3-to-1 margin! Are you conveniently forgetting that, or do you just not bother to read the bills you vote on?

Honestly, I really want to see us start referring to this as the "GOP-endorsed Pentagon cuts."
