We want your help in finding examples of the emerging meme that Obama’s proposed defense budget amounts to an old-style, lefty, dovish, weak-on-defense capitulation. Keep an eye especially on local media in your area. Oftentimes, comments made back home by senators and representatives fly under the national media radar.
Bonus points for finding examples of (1) Democrats (like Rep. Dan Boren of Oklahoma) saying it; (2) the media repeating and perpetuating it uncritically; and (3) Republicans who blame the phantom defense “cuts” on Obama’s out-of-control, budget-busting domestic spending, to use their terminology.
Email your examples, with links so we can confirm them, to the “Send Comments & News Tips” address at the top of the page. And, as always, thanks.
