After lamenting in a press conference Friday that he could not do more to avert the forced spending cuts known as sequestration, President Barack Obama will sign a sequestration order sometime later in the day. 

Obama and both parties of Congress have been warning about the cuts of the sequester for the past few weeks. Local publications have also started warning about the state-by-state and community-by-community effects. 

On Friday, as the cuts were set to begin kicking in, newspapers from California to New York began bracing their readers for the effects.
