PHOENIX (AP) - President Barack Obama took on both the defense establishment and freespending lawmakers on Monday, saying they were draining the defense budget with "exotic projects." "If Congress sends me a defense bill loaded a bunch of pork, I will veto it," he declared in a speech to the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
He accused members of Congress of using the defense budget to protect jobs back home, including on wasteful projects he said were diverting money needed for U.S. military forces battling everything from nuclear weapons to "18th century style piracy and 21st century cyber threats."

it is ALWAYS some one else’s fault, in the world of the obamanation
White House spiraling downward mode: Attack, grasp straws, and lash out at anything and everything in the hopes of halting said spiral downward.
He should know about cyber threats with his snitch line and sending out SPAM emails. What next? The WH sends out a virus?
And what are YOU doing throwing our money away on trillion dollar bailouts, clunker programs, and now - a massive government takeover of healthcare??
Looks like Barry wants to change the subject yet again.
WHAT A DAMN HYPOCRITE!...He supports Polosi’s stimulus bill packed with pork! I guess military pork is a different matter, right Odinga?......
Don’t give them any ideas!
I guess none of the Porkulus Projects were “exotic.” Here we go into the One World, Can’t We Just All Be Marxists Together Defense Budget — a couple of mediators and a time-out chair.
Of course, if Congress sends him a 'stimulus' bill loaded with a bunch of pork, he'll sign it before the ink dries.
What the Communist in Chief failed to mention is that if his democrat buddies send him ANY bill loaded with ACORN requisitions or other anti-American garbage, he will greedily sign the sucker.
I have absolutely no respect for this President or his family, none.
Amazing how our military has survived all these decades without a man like Obama in charge.

First rule of taking advantage of affirmative action:
It is ALWAYS some one elses fault.
The idea is right, but I don’t trust the source in the slightest. That teleprompter is a habitual liar.
Oh, we now morphed into the Champion Against Wasteful Spending.
That should fool everyone... NOT!
And where are the calls for investigations of people like Murtha, BO? You guys control the entire legislative and budgetary process. As a so-called “Constitutional scholar” you should know this BO.
LOL!
Is this clown for real?
Hey 0bama, that $787 Billion PORKULUS bill was stuffed full of every kind of pork known to man, including billions of tax payer dollars to your corrupt ACCORN pals. If you are so keen on vetoing pork, why the heck didn't you veto that one?
