Obama Calling for Defense Budget Cuts

Last Friday, Fox News reported that the "Obama administration has asked the military's Joint Chiefs of Staff to cut the Pentagon's budget request for the fiscal year 2010 by more than 10 percent -- about $55 billion..."

Before that, President Obama signed an executive order that orders the Guantánamo Bay Detention Camp to be closed within a year.

It's clear that President Obama doesn't view national security as a priority. Everything else is going to grow. However, defense is going to be cut by 55 billion.

However, what continually surprises me is even after September 11, Democrats still don't understand:

• that people want to really hurt us
• that our enemies tend to target big cities or anything big
• that for the most part, there are more Democrats living in big cities than there are Republicans (see the election results)
  
• If we are attacked again, it is likely that there will be just as many, if not more, Democrats who will get hurt in the attack than Republicans
  

One would think that average Democrats would get these points and actually want to protect themselves and their families.

Too bad, they are listening to Democratic leaders and other liberals such as most of what passes for the media INSTEAD of using common sense.
