The QotD: In Twitter Veritas Memorial Open Thread.

RESIZE: AAA

PJ Tatler caught this one.  President Barack Obama, during his so-called “Twitter Town Hall” yesterday:

…we will have to make tough decisions about Defense spending, or even on programs that I like…

(Via Jim Geraghty)

Seriously, the administration needs to cut down on the number of occasions where the President is allowed to talk off the cuff, and unscripted. He’s incredibly bad at avoiding disaster at such things.

Open thread.

PS: No, he said it.

    any other pork project you dole out to supporters. And it is no surprise to anyone here that he doesn’t “like” it.
    His defense cuts will probaly be more of a “pogrom” than a “program.”

    Like the “Days Not Weeks War” in Libya for example. Just sayin’. I also wonder if he submitted budget numbers assuming no US troops in Iraq after 2011….

    These are two examples of where BHO could save more money for the stuff he likes.

    when he needs to use it . . .

    No sane president likes spending hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer money every year to maintain a well-equipped, standing military, but it is a necessity. Unlike the rest of the world, we can’t go crying to the United States to save our sorry butts from some bully despot who invading our country, or worse yet, the bully despot that we have allowed to take over the government of our country. WE ARE the United States, and if WE didn’t have a strong, standing military, we and the rest of the world would be eating the scraps from Saddam Hussein’s and Hugo Chavez’s tables.

    Wake up, Oval Office Zero! And quit making snide comments like this about our military. They are all volunteers, which means that they can resign at the end of this tour of duty, and then you’d be stuck being defended by civilian voters with guns. I really don’t think you’d like that very much.
