President Obama's cuts in defense spending is just wrong on so many levels. When you are fighting a war on two fronts and facing two rogue regimes intent on building nuclear weapon, his defense cuts are putting all of our lives in danger.

This is an affront to common sense. After using the Stimulus and subsequent Omnibus bills to reward his buddies and those of Nanci Pelosi's crew, the President is going to take from the money being used to protect our families. Instead of cutting defense, why not take the money the Democrats are using to reward ACORN. You remember ACORN? They were the group that broke a multitude of campaign laws to help President Obama get elected. ACORN's fraudulent voter registration drives were news almost every day. They were famous for registering dead people, the same people in multiple counties, and even giving Mickey Mouse the right to vote.

The stimulus bill handed up to $5.2 Billion Dollars for ACORN, Senator Richard Burr says the omnibus had up to $3.9 Billion more. This my friends, is how our President sees the priorities of the country, feed ACORN, defense. Thankfully, many in Congress are trying to fight his defense cuts:

Can someone post a list of ACORN names and addresses, using ACORN’s methods vis-a-vis AIG (even though AIG bonuses scandal is a scandal of the left...).

There is no constitutional authority for the federal government to give money or tax breaks to Acorn.

I’m sure a little research will reveal that ACORN is indeed in receipt of $5.2 Billion in stimulus money.

The “messiah” owes these ACORNS. Without them, he’d still be a junior Senator and former “community organizer.” (I know, I know. Jesus and George Bush were community organziers so the Obama-loving/Bush-hating trolls can give it a rest).

King Obama is destroying America. I see no chance to overturn this maniac for many years, and by then the damage will have been done.

Yes, it sucks to be us right now. A slight majority of the voting public is getting the kind of "leadership" it so richly deserves. The problem is, the rest of us are stuck with it too.

obama is a naive fool. His simplistic, idealistic view of the world is going to cost American lives, I'm sure of it.

We are long past constitutional authority. Even the repubs don't use that standard. Ron Paul is the only congress member I ever heard say he does not vote for anything which isn't authorized by the constitution.

We now have a probably fraudulant president who won't even release the records to establish he is qualifed.

We spent hundreds of billions to bail out banks etc. The government fired a CEO of a private company.

Billions in taxpayer moeny are given for "community organizers" to help the democrats win elections.

I'm ready to ignore the constitution. What's the point?
