Obama: Slashing Military Budget; One Reason to Hope He Fails

A few weeks back, I posted a long list of reasons for not wanting Obama to succeed. I got comments that I was being unfair, short-sighted, and just plain wrong.

One of my stated reasons for not wanting Obama to succeed is:
  • He wants to decimate our military by slashing its budget, shutting down weapons programs...
Well, it's true!

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.

...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.

But, while we are engaged in a war on two fronts, we certainly don't need weapons systems.
