OBAMUNISM, The Party, White House pressuring defense industry not to warn of layoffs Companies dazed by political headache “ From the "Let them eat cake" file - the Obamas are warning defense contractors not to publicize automatic spending cuts  that will go into effect if he's reelected. The automatic defense cuts, which are looming because a deficit supercommittee failed last year to strike a deal, have become a major political headache for President Obama and Congress. In an effort to head off at least some of the pain, the White House said Tuesday that military personnel will be spared from the cuts — but that means trims will have to be deeper for military weapons systems and infrastructure. Those cuts could jeopardize tens of thousands of private-sector jobs, and the 60 days’ notice requirement means companies would be alerting their employees of potential layoffs just days before voters go to the polls in November.
