Staffing Reductions Resulting From Sequestration

Try calling the White House visitor tours  - here's the historic message you'll hear; Due to staffing reductions resulting from sequestration we regret to inform you that White House tours will be cancelled effective Saturday March 9 2013 until further notice...Unfortunately we will not be able to reschedule affected tours. We very much regret having to take this action particularly during the popular spring touring season." 

How do you rank the handling of this particular decision on a scale of 1 (bad move ;-(. )  to 10 (way to go!)
