The White House budget office is recalculating how to apply automatic spending
cuts for a handful of agencies, freeing up almost $4 billion for
the Pentagon and another $1 billion or so for Homeland Security Department
and NASA.Capitol Hill aides familiar with the White House changes say the
administration has identified almost $5 billion in cuts that can be restored
under its reading of the arcane budget rules governing the across-the-board
cuts, known as sequestration. The calculations would restore $5 billion
of the scheduled $85 billion in automatic sequestration cuts.An administration
official confirmed the calculations Friday but declined to comment further
because the process is ongoing. The official and congressional aides spoke
on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the
changes publicly.The move comes amid increasing public pressure to find
ways to lessen the impact of sequestration. Federal agencies are warning
that the mandatory cuts could mean cutbacks in services. Last week, Congress
passed and President Obama signed legislation giving the Federal Aviation
Administration the ability to avoid furloughs that were causing flight delays
by tapping money in other accounts.The cuts officially began in March after
Congress and Obama could not reach an agreement on a broader budget
deal. The automatic cuts had been imposed under a hard-fought 2011 debt
and budget pact.The cuts have so far failed to live
In the height of the 2012 election cycle,
Islamist militants laid siege to and overran a U.S. diplomatic outpost in
Benghazi, Libya. This posed huge dangers to President Obama's re-election
effort.Obama's greatest political asset was his success in preventing a
large-scale attack on the U.S. by Islamists. Obama had authorized the raid
that killed 9/11 mastermind Usama bin Laden and shown a willingness to
kill other terrorists with the kind of enthusiasm not associated with a
man who campaigned in opposition to the Iraq war.If there were any
thought that Obama were not sound on national security, his re-election,
then looking likely, would be in big trouble. It was especially troublesome
that the attack occurred in a country that was the centerpiece of
Obama's Middle East policy, where he had helped depose a secular government
and install an Islamist one in its place.Republican candidate Mitt Romney
tried to jump on the topic and managed to be overeager and
equivocating all at once. Romney ended up discussing the contents of Twitter
messages surrounding the attack and defending himself against charges of
politicizing the deaths of Americans.While Democratic operatives had Team
Romney pinned down on his Tweet talk, Obama and his advisers formulated
a response. Power Play was in Chicago the day after the attack
for meetings with the Obama campaign, but word came mid-morning that no
visit would occur in light of the Benghazi raid.What resul

say that Levi has also apparently fled to Israel and remains a
fugitive. Beebe reached a plea agreement in 2010 in which he pleaded
guilty to a document fraud charge and was sentenced to 10 months
in prison.Rubashkin was convicted in 2009 on separate financial fraud charges
and sentenced to 27 years in prison. After his conviction in that
case, prosecutors dropped the immigration charges against him rather than
go through with a second trial.Amara's court-appointed attorney, Steven

sequestration," Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell wrote in March to governors
in 41 states, explaining that since the payments were issued in the
2013 budget year, the money would be subject to sequestration.Infuriated,
Republicans and Democrats from Capitol Hill to the governor's offices banded
together to fight back, arguing the money was paid to the states
well before the spending reductions went into effect. The governors of Alaska
and Wyoming have flat out refused to send the money back."The frustration
level is off the charts on this," said Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore.,
whose timber-rich state is the top recipient of the Forest Service payments
and stands to lose nearly $3.6 million.Wyden, chairman of the Senate Energy
and Natural Resources Committee, said he and Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski,
the panel's top Republican, are working together to "turn this around" so
their states and others are not forced to return any money to
the federal government."This is slap-your-forehead-in-disbelief kind of
stuff," Wyden said.At issue are so-called county payments, a revenue sharing
plan that's existed since President Teddy Roosevelt created the national
forests to protect timber reserves from the cut-and-run logging going on
at the time. For nearly a century, hundreds of counties received a
quarter of the revenue from the timber sold on federal land. The
money is being used for roads, schools and emergency services and is
