Whenever they ask Obama where he will cut, he always tells them where he will "invest". And he says nothing about Defense as either a place to cut or a place to invest. I consider that a dishonest answer. He knows he will cut Defense, but he will not include that in his answer.

The irony, of course, is that when they ask McCaon where HE will cut, he ALWAYS mentions Defense.

I'll have to read this later;
I'm busy listening to Obama tell his 'we wanted a snack' story again,
this time it was coconut cream.

Finally....a government program that Hussein despises and will definitely cut. /s

“First, I’ll stop spending $9 billion a month in Iraq. I’m the only major candidate who opposed this war from the beginning. And as president I will end it.

Second, I will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending.

I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems.

I will not weaponize space.

I will slow our development of future combat systems.

And I will institute an independent “Defense Priorities Board” to ensure that the Quadrennial Defense Review is not used to justify unnecessary spending.

Third, I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons. To seek that goal, I will not develop new nuclear weapons; I will seek a global ban on the production of fissile material; and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert, and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenals.”

NOTE: this is the ORIGINAL youtube Obama ad. Not the poor quality copy that is circulating the internet. This one (the good one) is titled “Obama-Caucus4Priorities”. Another making the rounds is titled “In 52 Seconds Why Obama Cannot Win the General Election”. However, the picture quality is terrible.
