RoJo Spanked By Panetta for Saying Obama 'Choosing Soc. Security over National Security'

In a heated exchange during yesterday's budget committee hearing, an exasperated Defense Sec. Leon Panetta said Ron Johnson's comments were "untrue" and that he was being "unfair" when Johnson said that the proposed cuts in Defense spending, "changes focus from, really, defending the nation to, really, protecting entitlements."
Of course, what Johnson leaves out of his charge is that defense cuts were agreed to by a majority of Republicans in the house and Senate approved the debt-reduction deal last year.
Johnson also leaves out that lowering the debt was a central part of his campaign when he ran against Russ Feingold.http://uppitywis.org/node
