Obama’s Defense Budget Makes Protecting America its Lowest Priority
The Heritage Foundation ^ | March 1, 2012 | Baker Spring

The Obama Administration is misleading Congress and the American people when it asserts that it plans to maintain a strong national defense. On February 13, 2012, President Barack Obama unveiled his fiscal year (FY) 2013 defense budget request.[1] The request comes on the heels of the January 5, 2012, release of a new strategic guidance outlining the nation’s defense policy.[2] The numbers in the budget submission reveal that the nation’s defense is the Administration’s lowest budget priority among the major responsibilities of the federal government. The budget submission also reveals that the Administration has proposed defense funding levels that are inadequate to maintaining the U.S. military capabilities described in the defense strategic review.

The subject line says it all!!!

Obama hates the military and hates the people that support the war fighter — Many furloughed civilians are veterans themselves and have served and sacrificed much of their adult lives in defense of this great nation!

Why does the president hate the military and those that have given their lives in support it so much, why?

This is an old article but proves that “the past is prologue.”

“The Obama Administration is misleading Congress...”

Why can’t writers call a spade a spade and say the word LYING instead of misleading?

Well, the budget is the responsibility of Congress. I wonder what the priorities of the GOP are.

Congress is not being “mislead” about anything. They’re in it with him as far as I can tell.
