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.

And Johnson also leaves out that national security is the last subject he should be lecturing Obama on, considering that Johnson practically walked right by Osama Bin Ladin's mansion in his "fact finding mission" to Pakistan and was duped by Bin Ladin-protecting Pakistan officials, which Johnson defended at the time as "trying to do the right thing."
