I see you are unable to address the substance of the article...no surprise there I guess.... Let me take just one example: "With all due respect Mr. President, we were hoping your administration would not carry on the war mongering policies of your predecessor. Instead we see amazingly that you Seek $75.5 Billion More for Wars in 2009. Mr. President, do we really need another $75 billion for wars? Was there nothing in the military budget that could be cut?" First of all, along with his budget, Obama submitted a ten year plan. The ten year plan shows defense spending trailing off after the first year when the Iraqi war draws to a close. Secondly, Obama has said the way he will cut budget deficits is by reducing war spending. Thirdly, not even the most liberal of liberals expected war spending would go to zero the day after his inauguration. Wingers: part of the problem, not the solution.
