White House says sequester spat won't stall agenda

White House officials say President Obama and Cabinet officials warned of dire consequences of looming budget cuts -- not because they thought they'd get Republicans to compromise -- but because they were  obliged to tell the American public.

Senior White House officials told reporters Friday that the White House would continue to talk about the sequester, but that it wouldn't be the only issue on the agenda, saying they plan to push with plans for an immigration overhaul and gun safety legislation.
