...he wasn't talking the last year about cuts, he's only talking it up NOW because the GOP has Congress and he remained silent while the country went without a budget for three years. It was just a matter of time
WASHINGTON | Mon Feb 13, 2012 12:30pm EST (Reuters) - President Barack Obama unveiled a 2013 defense budget on Monday that proposes cuts in Pentagon spending for the first time since 1998, slashing military personnel costs and weapons purchases as it trims $487 billion in projected outlays over the next decade. "This budget plan represents a historic shift to the future, recognizing that we are at a strategic point after a decade of war," Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said in a statement. "The plan is aligned to strategic priorities we have identified to keep America safe and maintain the strongest military in the world."..he didn't seem to have a problem six weeks ago....now in front of our troops, blame Congress
He's been talking about it since before Congress’ supercommittee failed to make any budget cuts. That it was reckless to play games with the defense of the nation for something that was most likely going to fail.
He's been talking about it pretty regularly since then. It's only NOW that you noticed it.
And your advice is to just swallow the bilge, sacrifice our soldiers/sailor/airmen/marines, and STFU?!?
That's what I expect out of Obama, not a conservative.
And Paul Ryan's budget was the only peep I've heard from *ANYONE* in Congress about rectifying the problem.
