The backstabbing of his base continues. This time they have sided with defense lobbyists arguing for less cuts to defense, leading to more cuts for Medicare and Social Security. We spend roughly what the entire rest of the World does in military spending despite only having 20% of World GDP. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/17/leon-panetta-defense-spending-cuts_n_929046.html Why would you reward this guy with your vote?
Political expedient pandering to populism...a feigned move to the 'center' all exposed leftist frauds attempt.
Arguing for less defense cuts and the expense of middle class entitlements is a "populist" move? You're nuts. Poll after poll shows Americans prefer more defense cuts over entitlement cuts. This is about pandering to the Washington DC elite establishment. We could only hope for more populism from this President. Right now he's 100% in line with the corporate establishment's wishes, just like the 99% of the GOP.
