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.
