Remember this when the defense budget is not cut.

"I will veto any effort to get rid of those automatic spending cuts to domestic and defense spending. There will be no easy off-ramps on this one,"

Just a note for future reference whe he does back away from defense cuts.

1. So will you apologize publicly when it turns out that you're wrong? nt

[Safetykitten]

2. Why of course. Will you when he does back off the cuts?

[TheWraith]

4. Fortunately for me, it's not going to happen. nt

[TheKentuckian]

3. What are you all betting on? Surely, no one believes we'll be reducing spending from present levels

5. A "rightie" was pointing out that the "whining left" was crying about the

"horrendous cuts", but, as he reminded people, this was a reduction in "increases".

(was on a station I can't remember the other day).

Now, when the Repugs start saying about the "Democrats/Obama" SLASHING the Defense budget, remind them that it's a reduction in their spending increases, just like they "correct us" about the "liberal sacred cows" ...

6. I believe it will go down like the Public Option and extending the Bush tax cuts

Deny spin deny spin.
