Obama and Frank’s agenda

For any sentient being still believing Obama won’t gut the military and secure defeat in Iraq, read Rep. Barney Frank’s honest statement of intent to cut the military budget by 25%, forcing it to leave Iraq, then raise taxes:

Frank knows a Congress with increased Democratic majorities will join him on his quest, and that a Pres. Obama would instantly sign such legislation.

If we are so unfortunate as to have a Pres. Obama, I can confidently predict that military re-ups will plummet, just as they did under Slick Willie, and for many of the same reasons.  And we will also see an exodus of Secret Service agents from the presidential detail.  And who could blame them?
