Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates says he felt President Obama “double-crossed” him during his tenure over budget cuts to the Pentagon.
In a Fox News report Friday that explored the president’s approach to the military, Gates said Obama had promised him that there wouldn’t be any “significant changes” in the defense budget for a while.

When asked by Fox whether Obama kept to his word, Gates replied, “Well I think that began to fray. ‘Fray’ may be too gentle a word.” According to the report, Gates was told to cut hundreds of billions of dollars from the defense budget after already having slashed it.
“I guess I’d have to say I felt double-crossed,” Gates said. “After all those years in Washington, I was naïve.”
The former defense secretary added that he advised Obama to slow the cuts to the military because it would endanger U.S. troops.
“I think he acknowledged that what I was pitching at a minimum was, ‘The world doesn’t seem to be getting better. Before you head down a path of deep cuts in defense, why don’t you take it kind of slow,’ ” he said. “You know it was one of those things where I lost the argument.”

The America Hater In-Chief at work again.
Lying Communists lie. It’s what they do. Republicans fall for it every time.
By any chance, was Former Secretary Gates hawking a new book he’d written?
and our “oh so strong and conservative” republican house (where budgets are supposed to originate) and senate went along with the kenyan.
Another case of “can’t see the forest for the trees”, similar to Cruz’s “McConnell lied” comment.
Gates can go F*** himself.
Signed,
A proud Eagle Scout.
Gates - making homosexuals feel good about themselves by destroying one group at a time.
If I thought Gates were being honest, then I'd be very scared that such a naive moron could have ever been in charge of the military! Gates knew 0bama was a muzzie, commie who hated America when he took the job, so acting hurt and surprised now just doesn't fly.
Gates, the guy who sold-out the Boy Scouts to the homosexual movement.
Don’t believe a word he says.
Although anyone paying attention knew thats what he intended from the beginning.
One of the first things I remember my mother and father teaching me is, “Never trust a democrat. They lie all of the time.”
One would think Gates would be too embarrassed to say he was snookered by a Democrat; but isn’t he a Democrat sympathizer?
Boy Scouts everywhere “Gates double-crossed us and allowed the rump rangers to have open season on innocent boys!”
Lay down with dogs...
FURG, you knew exactly what you were getting into.
“FURG, you knew exactly what you were getting into.”
Perhaps, perhaps not. I found many liberals today are as naive about where the increasing power of the state will lead. The fellow travelers and willing accomplices will one day be rounded up and taken by force to the FEMA reeducation camps or much worse. Many will still be trying be oblivious to their role in creating the conditions that put the noose around their necks.
