Obama Wants Pentagon Budget Cut 10%
This should make America’s enemies happy, including the American Left: Defense Official: Obama Calling for Defense Budget Cuts
The Obama administration has asked the military’s Joint Chiefs of Staff to cut the Pentagon’s budget request for the fiscal year 2010 by more than 10 percent — about $55 billion — a senior U.S. defense official tells FOX News.
Last year’s defense budget was $512 billion. Service chiefs and planners will be spending the weekend “burning the midnight oil” looking at ways to cut the budget — looking especially at weapons programs, the defense official said.
Well, if Obambi goes ahead and repeals don’t ask don’t tell, allowing openly gay men and women to serve, the cost of paying soldiers will go down, since 10% say they would not re-enlist or extend their service, and another 14% would consider not re-enlisting or extending their service.
Certainly, Obamabi has targeted Star Wars and other missile defense programs during his campaign, but, Director Blue has a breakdown of comparing the $55 billion cut to protecting the United States, which, if memory serves, is actually in the Constitution and the Presidential Oath of Office, to the what is in the Porkulus Package Obama is pushing.

Elections have consequences. B. Hussein Obama is slowing carrying this country to a level of non-security. This is Carter II and Clinton II all over again.
Every day the BOY PHAROAH gives his separate and disparate constituency special interests what they want.
Unions,
Abortionists,
Terrorists and
Peaceniks,
Not to mention ACORN.
The guy has no clue at all. He’s in so far over his head that he’s spinning like a top.
This will harm America, but libtards don’t care.
Put a former mooslim, black liberation theology whack-job social agitator in the White House and what do you expect? He’s a wimp lawyer with the gift of gab, nothing more. He learned Oprah’s marketing techniques and got Soros’ money.
The question is: How to remove this an embarassment to our republic? How to remove him from office ASAP?
If lots of troops get out in the next year, let’s ask His Majesty to draft everybody in ACORN to fill the gap.
Shucks, His Preppiness wants to funnel up to $5 billion to ACORN–1/10th of the proposed Defense cuts–so those guys are obviously willing to work for comparative peanuts.
WE NEED TO CUT DEFENCE, & HOMELAND SECURITY SPENDING BY 37% ,AND WAR BY 100%
ITS TIME STOP FUNDING WAR AND START FUNDING SOCIAL AND HUMAN SERVICE PROGRAM, WE NEED TO STOP CUTTING THE BUDGET ON THE BACKS OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILTIES. MORE $$$$$$$$$$ NEEDS TO GO TO THE MIDDLE AND LOWR CLASS AND PEOPLE WITH DISABILTIES AND HEALTHCARE/ EDUCATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is crazy. Thank YOU to the 52% of you who put this man in office. He knows exactly what he is doing. Putting this nation in a weak position so we can never recover. I mean he has appointed two crooks(tax evaders) in to important positions. DO you people not see what is happening here and it is only 2-2-09
