Obama to sign defense bill with call for further cuts
President Barack Obama was scheduled to sign the 2010 Defense Department authorization into law today, even as he continues to criticize what he sees as wasteful spending. "This bill isn't perfect," the president said in excerpts of his speech released to the media. "There is still more waste we need to cut. There are still more fights we need to win." The White House had threatened a veto of the bill, but Obama instead decided to highlight his victories, including spiking a congressional effort to spend "nearly $2 billion to buy more F-22 fighter jets that the Pentagon says they don't need."
