Sequestration Blame Game

Now, I am puzzled right now. President Barack Obama just came of a victory over republicans not just in the Presidential election, but he got his way with the Fiscal cliff, got a controversial Chuck Hagel through the Senate to become secretary of Defense, and it seemed like he was having his way with Republicans. So why did he make it sound like the Sequester was the end of Western Civilization as we know it, and blamed the Republicans while at it.

First of all, the sequester will not be terribly devastating, especially considering we are living in a 3 trillion dollar budget and we will still add 15 billion in spending when all is said and done. I am not saying it is a good thing, but why make it sound like the most devastating thing in the history of America? What does he gain? Especially when everyone can look on the internet and see that it was his proposal.
